The area of a triangle is 24 square feet If the base is 12fe

The area of a triangle is 24 square feet. If the base is 12feet, what is the height of the triangle?

Solution

Given that

Area of triangle = 24 square feet

Base of triangle b = 12 feet

We know that

Area of triangle = (1/2) x b x h

Where,

b = base , h = height

Hence,

(1/2) x b x h = 24

  (1/2) x 12 x h = 24

6 x h = 24

h = 24 / 6

h = 4 feet

Therefore,

Height of triangle = 4 feet
