What is the height of a triangle when the area is 36 cm and the base is 6 cm

The height of the triangle is 20 cm.

h = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for area of a triangle A = (1/2) bh, where b is the base, and h is the height.

Plug in the given information of A = 36, and b = 6, then solve for h

36 = (1/2) (6) h

36 = 3h (one half of 6 is 3 (1/2) (6) = 3)

12 = h (divide both sides by 3 to isolate h)
