Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]hright =12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

The formula to find the area of a triangle is  [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]  where [tex]b[/tex] stands for the base and [tex]h[/tex] stands for the height.

But we already know the area and the base. So to find the height, let's substitute 72 for [tex]A[/tex] and 12 for [tex]b[/tex], and solve.

[tex]72=\frac{1}{2}(12)(h)[/tex]

[tex]72=6h[/tex]

Here, divide both sides by 6

[tex]12=h[/tex]
