Answer :
Given:
Base of triangle, b = 15 ft
Area of triangle, A = 60 ft
Height of triangle, h = ??
To find the height, use the area of a triangle formula below:
[tex]A\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]Substitute values in the formula:
[tex]60=\frac{1}{2}\ast15\ast h[/tex]Solving further, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 60\text{ = 7.5h} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 7.5} \\ \\ \frac{60}{7.5}=\frac{7.5h}{7.5} \\ \\ 8\text{ = h} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the height of the triangle is 8 feet
ANSWER:
8 ft
