Ok then. I will tell you again. The formula for the area of a triangle is:

What do you suppose A stands for?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/2bh
OpenStudy (mertsj):
The A stands for area
b stands for base
h stands for height.
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Your problem says that the area is 60 so replace A in the formula with 60
OpenStudy (mertsj):
You problem says that the base is 15 so replace b in the formula with 15

Now your formula says 60 = 1/2 ( 15)(h)
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Solve it for h.
