Answer:
Therefore, Height = 4.8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A triangle whose base is 5 inches and area is 12 square inches.
To find : Find the height of a triangle.
Solution : we have given
Triangle base = 5 inches.
Area = 12 square in.
We need to find height of the triangle.
Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * base * height .
Plugging the values .
12 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * 5 * height .
On multiplying both sides by 2
24 = 5 * height .
On dividing both sides by 5.
Height = [tex]\frac{24}{5}[/tex].
Height = 4.8 inches.
Therefore, Height = 4.8 inches.
