The area of a triangle is 12 square feet. If the base is 6 feet, what is the height of the triangle?

2 feet

4 feet

1 feet

6 feet

Formula for finding the area of a triangle is

A = BH/2. So plus in 12 in A for area. Plug 6 in B for base. And solve

(12) * 2 = (6h/2) * 2

(24) / 6 = (6h) / 6

4=h

So the height of the triangle is 4 ft

4 feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

(B x h) x 1/2 (or divided by 2)

(12 x 2) / 6 = h

12 x 2 = 24

24/6 = 4

4 feet high
