A triangle has a base of 4 feet and a area of 8 square feet. Find the triangles height.

Area=1/2 times base times height

given that we must find the height

solve for height

area=1/2 bh

times both sides by 2

2area=bh

divide both sides by b

2area/b=h

input

area=8

b=4

h=h

2 (8) / 4=h

16/4=h

4=h

the height is 4ft

The triangles height is 4 feet

to find the area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2

base is 4 and the area is 8

so if the height is 4

it would be 4 * 4

which equals 16

and 16 divided by 2 is 8
