Find the value of x if the area of the triangle is 297.5 in^2? I know the formula for area is 1/2 (bxh). So, would I take 297.5/35?

Nevermind.  I know the answer.  It's 8.5

anonymous · Answer

area of a triangle is 1/2 the base times the height.
area  = (1/2) 70 x
297.5= (1/2) 70 x
Solve the above for x.
