What is the altitude of the triangle? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The area of a triangle: \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Convert 2 ft to inches; 24\" \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Substitute for 144 for Area and 24 for b: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "2 cancels into 24 so you have \n" ); document.write( "12h = 144 \n" ); document.write( "h = \n" ); document.write( "h = 12 inches \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Check solution: \n" ); document.write( "A = .5*24*12 \n" ); document.write( "A = 144 \n" ); document.write( " |
