Answer: 3 I think, I’m not positive though

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

h = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A triangle; Base = 12, area = 18

To find: The height

Formula: [tex]A=\frac{hb}{2}[/tex]

Solution: Triangle height, also referred to as its altitude, can be solved using a simple formula using the length of the base and the area. Thus, the height or altitude of a triangle h is equal to 2 times the area T divided by the length of base b.

Firstly, divide the area by the base

[tex]18[/tex] ÷ [tex]12 = 1.5[/tex]

Now, multiply 2 by the result

[tex]1.5[/tex] × [tex]2 = 3[/tex]

Or

The lowest common factor of 18 and 12 is 6

Now, divide 6 by 2

[tex]\frac{6}{2} =[/tex] [tex]3[/tex]

The height is 3
