A triangle has a base of 3 2/5 inches in an area of five and one 10 in.² what is the height of the triangle

3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

The base of a triangle as 3.4 inches (in decimal form)

The area of triangle as 5.1 in² (in decimal form)

We are required to calculate the height of the triangle;

The area of a triangle is given by;

Area = 0.5 * b * h

Rearranging the formula;

h = Area : (0.5 * b)

Therefore;

Height = 5.1 in² : (0.5 * 3.4 in)

= 3 inches

Thus, the height of the triangle is 3 inches
