Question 1076773: A triangular flag has the same area as a rectangle that is 6 ft by 7 ft. If
the length of the base of the flag is 6 feet what is the height of a flag? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The rectangular flag has an area of 42 ft^2.
The triangle's area is (1/2)bh=42
84=bh, and base is 6 ft
Therefore the height has to be 84/6 or 14 ft.
