Hey there, we are going to use the formula for a triangle. The formula for a triangle is A=hᵇb/2. Hₐ=2A/B=2*12/0.5=48m. Therefore, the height is 48m

Paloma Todd · Answer 2

area of a triangle = (base x heigth) / 2

dа ta:

base=0.5 m

area=12 m²

Therefore:

12 m² = (0.5 m x height) / 2

2*12 m²=0.5 m x hegith

24 m²=0.5 m x hegith

hegith=24 m²/0.5 m

heigth=48 m

Answer: heigth=48 m
