The formula for the area of a triangle is a = bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height. the equation solved for h is h = . 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
Actually, the area of a triangle is a = bh/2. If a = 30 and b = 12:
\(30 = \frac{12h}{2}\)
\(30=6h\)
\(h=5\)
So he height is 5 units
