Question 958804
.
h=height; b=base=(1/2)h; A=area=144 sq m
.
{{{A=(1/2)bh}}} Substitute for b.
{{{A=(1/2)(1/2)(h)(h)}}}
{{{A=(1/4)h^2}}} Multiply each side by 4.
{{{4A=h^2}}} Find the square root of each side.
{{{sqrt(4A)=h}}} Put in value for A.
{{{sqrt(4(144m^2))=h}}}
{{{24m=h}}} ANSWER: The height of the triangle is 24 meters.
