Question

h(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x)(89)
the given function h represents the area, in square inches, of a triangle with a base of x inches and a fixed height. what is the height, in inches, of the triangle?
a. \frac{1}{89}
b. \frac{89}{2}
c. 89
d. 178

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for triangle

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$, where $b$ is base and $h$ is height. Given $h(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x)(89)$ and $b = x$.

Step2: Identify height

Comparing with formula, height is 89.

Answer:

c. 89
