Do you know the formula for the area of a triangle?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Its Area of a triangle= 1/2*base*height, we already know what the base and the area is so insert that into the equation, then tell me what you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what do i do like what should the equation be like multiplication addition or what ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when you insert the base and area into the equation you get 60=1/2*12*height
which simplifies to 60=6*height, now do you know how to solve it from here?
