    Step-by-step explanation:

    Area if a traiangle = 1/2 * base * height

    5 1/10 = 1/2 * 3 2/5 * h

    Change mixed fractions to improper fractions

    51/10 = 1/2 * 17/5 * h

    51/10 = 17/10*h

    Divide 51/10 by the coefficient of h

    51/10:17/5 = h

    51/10 * 5/17 = h

    3/2 = h

    h = 1 1/2 inchea

    The height of the triangle 1 1/2 inches
