Question 756311: IF THE AREA OF A TRIANGLE IS 18FT SQUARED AND THE BASE HAS A LENGTH OF 3 FEET,FIND THE LENGTH OF THE ALTITUDE TO THAT BASE Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area of a triangle = 1/2 (base * height)
18 feet = 1/2 (3 * h)
Multiply both sides by 2
this gets rid of 1/2 on right.
36 feet = 3 * h
Divide both sides by 3
this leaves the height on its own.
