A ship's triangular signal flag has a base of 8 inches and an area of 64 square inches. What is the height of the signal flag? Show your work. Pls explain

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]h=16inches[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Base of  flag [tex]l_b=8inch[/tex]

Area of flag [tex]A=64 inch^2[/tex]

 

Generally the equation for a triangle is mathematically given by

 [tex]Area=\frac{1}{2}l_b*h[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]h=\frac{2A}{l_b}\\h=\frac{2*64}{8}[/tex]

 [tex]h=16inches[/tex]

Therefore the hieght of the ship is  mathematically given as

 [tex]h=16inches[/tex]
