Find the missing variable for a triangle: A = 48 i n^2

h =

b = 12 in
 	
	10 in
	36 in
	8 in
	4 in

solomonzelman · Answer

You are given that the Area f the triangle is 48 inch². And the base is equal to 12 inch.

$\LARGE\color{blue}{ A~∆ = \frac{b \times h}{2} }$  then plug in your given values and solve for height.

$\LARGE\color{blue}{ 48 = \frac{12 \times h}{2} }$

can you finish solving for the h (height) ?
