A triangle has an area of 72 square inches. If the base of the triangle has a length of 18 inches, what is the height of the triangle? Use the formula for the area of a triangle:

Area = (base)(height)

Answer 1

A = BH
A = 72
B = 18
now we sub
72 = 18H -- divide both sides by 18
72/18 = H
4 = H

so the height is 4 inches
