Determine the height in meters of a triangle with an area of 72 square meters and a base of 28 meters.​

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

The area A of a triangle is given by

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

where b is the length of the base and h is its height. Solving for h, we get

[tex]h = \dfrac{2A}{b} = \dfrac{2(72\:\text{m}^2)}{28\:\text{m}}[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:= 5.14\:\text{m}[/tex]
