16. Jessica was given the area and the length of the base of a triangle. A = 17.5 units, b = 5 units. She solved the formula for area for h to find the height of the triangle. Determine if Jessica solved the equation correctly and found the correct answer. If not, describe what mistake she made and solve the formula for h correctly and justify your steps. A = 1/2bh
1/2A • b = h
1/2 (17.5)(5) = h
43.75 = h

The height of the triangle is 43.75 units.

h = 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica made an error with the in that she multiplied A by it instead of dividing.

Given

A = bh

with A = 17.5 and b = 5, then

17.5 = × h × 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

35 = 5h ( divide both sides by 5 )

h = 7

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6
