Question 891831: Pamela wants to plant a triangular garden in her backyard and has 45 square feet of soil to use. She wants the base of her garden to line up against the back of her shed which is 10ft long. What will be the height of her garden?

If the base is 10' and the area is 45 sq ft, the height of her garden will be 9'.
Area of a triangle is b*h
45 = (10)*(h)
Multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the pesky fraction.
90 = 10h
Divide each side by 10
9 = h
