Question

The area of a triangle is 196 square millimeters. What is the height if the base is 16 millimeters?

Answer 1

24.5 millimeters

Explanation:

Area (A) of a triangle: `(hb)/2=A`, where `h` represents height of the triangle and `b` represents the base

`(16h)/2=196 rarr` Plug 16 in for `b` and 196 in for `A`

`16h=392`

`h=24.5`
