    The first triangle has a base of 20 feet and a height of 5 feet.

    A = 1/2bh

    A = 1/2 (20) (5)

    A = 50

    The second triangle has a base of 25 feet, two triangles have the same area

    A = 1/2bh

    50 = 1/2 (25) h

    50 = 12.5 h

    h = 50 / 12.5

    h = 4

    answer: C) 4 ft
