Question
A triangle has an area of 112 square inches and a base of 14 inches. What is the height?
Solution
The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.
We know the area and the base, so we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:
Height = (2 * Area) / base
Substitute the given values into the formula:
Height = (2 * 112 square inches) / 14 inches
Height = 224 square inches / 14 inches
Height = 16 inches
So, the height of the triangle is 16 inches.
