Question

The triangle below has an are of 7 7/8 square centimeters and a base of 5 1/4 centimeters. Find the length of h and write an expression to match this problem.

Answers

  2. Answer:
    H = 3
    7 7/8 ÷ 5 1/4 × 2
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Formula: Area = Base * height / 2
    A = BH/2
    We’re looking for the the height so
    Height = Area divided by base times 2
    H = 7 7/8 ÷ 5 1/4 × 2
    H = 1.5 ×2
    H = 3
    To confirm it:
    7 7/8 =  3 * 5 1/4 ÷ 2
    7 7/8 = 7 7/8
