The formula for the area of a triangle is a = ½ bh. find the area of a triangle with a base of 18 feet and a height of 7 feet.       solve the formula for h. find the height of a triangle with an area of 28 feet2 and a base of 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Put the values where the variables are in the formula, then do the arithmetic.

... A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(18 ft)(7 ft) = 63 ft²

2. Divide by the coefficient of h. Substitute the given values and do the arithmetic.

... A = (1/2)bh

The coefficient of h is b/2, so we divide by that—or multiply by its inverse, 2/b.

... 2A/b = h

Substituting the given numbers, you have ...

... 2(28 ft²)/(8 ft) = h = 7 ft

The height of the triangle is 7 ft.
