Write an equation for the problem and then solve.
the area of a triangle is 48 square meters. if the length of the base is 24 meters, what is the height of the triangle?
height of the triangle = _meters

  4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the area of a triangle. Fill in the given numbers and solve for the unknown.

  A = (1/2)bh

  48 m² = (1/2)(24 m)h . . . . . put in the given numbers

  (48 m²)/(12 m) = h = 4 m . . . . divide by the coefficient of h

The height of the triangle is 4 meters.
