Step-by-step explanation

Answer:

Height of the sail is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since sail is in the shape of a triangle and the formula of a triangle is

Area = (1/2)×Base×Height

Area of the sail has been given in the question and we have to calculate the height of the sail.

40.5 = (1/2)× Height× Height ( since base = height)

40.5×2 = height² = 81

height = √81 = 9 feet.
