The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height. The equation solved for h is h =2A/b . Find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units

Respuesta :

a=30 and b = 12          2*30/12 = 5    so height= 5

Answer:

The height of the triangle is 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

where, b is the length of base and h is the height of the triangle.

The equation solved for h is

[tex]h=\frac{2A}{b}[/tex]

The area of triangle is 30 square units and length of base is 12 units.

[tex]h=\frac{2\times 30}{12}[/tex]

[tex]h=5[/tex]

Therefore the height of the triangle is 5 units.
