Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{12 \: inches}}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of a triangle = 78 square inches

Base of a triangle = 13 inches

Height of a triangle = ?

Finding the height of a triangle

[tex] \boxed{ \sf{area \: of \: a \: triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times \: base \: \times \: height}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{78 = \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \times h}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{78 = 6.5 \: h \: }}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{6.5 \: h = 78}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{6.5h}{6.5} = \frac{78}{6.5}}} [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{h = 12 \: inches}}[/tex]

Hope I helped!
