Question 234695
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">

"In terms of *[tex \Large x]" means your answer is going to have an *[tex \Large x] in it.


The area of a triangle is given by:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ A\ =\ \frac{bh}{2}]


Where *[tex \Large b] is the measure of the base and *[tex \Large h] is the measure of the height.


You want to know the height given the area and an expression for the measure of the base, so solve the area formula for height in terms of the quantities you know, namely the area and the measure of the base:  (multiply both sides by 2, and then divide by *[tex \Large b])


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ h\ = \frac{2A}{b}]


Now just plug in your values:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ h\ = \frac{2(5)}{2x}]


Simplify the right-hand expression and you have it.
