    Answer: (a) 12.44 - 3.11h = 0

    (b) 4in²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Area of a triangle = (1/2) bh, where b is the base and h is the height.

    Now from the question, Area = 6.22in² and the base is 3.11inches.

    Therefore, the equation that relates the area to the height and the base wiil be

    Area = (3.11) h/2

    6.22 x 2 = 3.11 x h

    12.44 = 3.11h

    12.44 - 3.11h = 0

    (b) to find the value of h from the equation, make h the subject of the formula by solving for h

    12.44 = 3.11h

    h = 12.44/3.11

    = 4in²
