Answer:
The height is 5ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the area is 30ft^2 and the base is 12 ft.
Plug that information in the formula for the area of a triangle,
Formula for area of a triangle:
A = (1/2)bh (area is one half of the product of the base and height)
The question gives us A = 30, and b = 12. We can plug them in and find h
30 = (1/2)(12)h
Now solve for h
30 = 6h (1/2)(12) means '12 times one half' or 'half of 12' which is 6
5 = h (30 divided by 6 is equal to 5)
