The formula for the area of a triangle is , where b is the length of the base and h is the height. Find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units.

3 units
5 units
8 units
9 units

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh

30 = 1/2 (12)h

Multiply

30 = 6h

Divide each side by 6

30/6 = 6h/6

5 = h

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time please supply the formula, which was apparently given in this question:

A = (1/2)(base)(height)

Here, A = 30 units^2 = (1/2)(12 units)(height), or

                30 units^2 = (6 units)(height)

Solving for (height), we get

                 30 units^2

(height) = = 5 units

                   6 units

The height is 5 units
