Question

1. the formula for the area of a triangle is $a=\frac{1}{2}bh$. solve the formula for $h$. if the area of a triangle is 48 $cm^{2}$, and its base measures 12 cm, what is the height of the triangle?

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 2

$$2A = bh$$

Step2: Divide both sides by b

$$h = \frac{2A}{b}$$

Step3: Substitute A=48, b=12

$$h = \frac{2 \times 48}{12}$$

Step4: Calculate the value

$$h = 8$$

Answer:

8 cm
