Question

The area of a triangle is 56.4 cm2 and the base is 12 cm.

What is the height of the triangle?

Answer 1

Need help.

Answer 2

the area formula is

Area = 1/2 x base x height

so you have

56.4 = 1/2 x 12 x height

or

56.4 = 6 x height

divide both sides of the equation by 6

Answer 3

Well you know the base which is 12 cm. Plus you know the area.. So all we need to do is divide it. 56.4 / 12 = 4.7
And that's your answer. :)

Answer 4

Thank you!
