Answer 3

Ok I will set this up for you:
solving the above for h gives\[h=\frac{2A}{b}\]Where the area is A and the base is b.
Those numbers are given in the problem. Plug in the the above and you will know h, the height.

Answer 4

ok I will come back with an answer. If you are still around can you tell me if its right?

Answer 5
