Question

6 Find the height of the triangle pictured above, if the area is 12. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

We have that the area of a triangle is given by:

$A=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}$

We replace the values we know:

$12=\frac{6\cdot h}{2}$

Now, we solve for h:

$\Rightarrow h=4$

From this, we have that the height of the triangle is 4 units.
