Question 312194: The formula to find the area of a triangle is: Area = 1/2 the base times the height or A = 1/2BH. If you know the area of a triangle = 60 sq ft and the base = 6 ft, what's the height?

Since area A = (1/2)bh, let's plug in what we know and solve for what we don't know...so we get
60 = (1/2)(6)h
60 = 3h
h = 20 ft
