What is the height of a triangle that has an area of 60 yd2 and a base with a length of 12 yd? A. 0.1 yd B. 2.5 yd C. 5 yd D. 10 yd

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Can you at least make an attempt at these problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have these are the ones i got wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Australopithecus before you asume maybe you should ask.

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Well I wanted to see your work

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Area of a Triangle = (height)(base)/2

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

|dw:1350689672637:dw| To remember this formula remember the area of a square or rectangle is base*height = Area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my mom does my work because when i try i push myself to hard so i break down and freak out its a brain disability i have

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

To figure out the area of a triangle we can just divide this formula by 2 because a square can be split into two rectangles |dw:1350689714569:dw|

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

thus half a square gives the area of a rectangle

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Area of a Triangle = (height)(base)/2 so you are left with 60yd^2 = 12yd(x)/2 where x = height of a triangle
