A triangle with a base length (b) of 24 feet has an area of 252 square feet. What is the height (h) of the triangle? (A = 1/2 bh)
Responses
A 10.5 feet
B 19 feet
C 21 feet
D 28.5 feet
A 10.5 feet
To find the height of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: A = 1/2 bh
Given that the area (A) is 252 square feet and the base length (b) is 24 feet, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the height (h):
252 = 1/2 * 24 * h
252 = 12h
h = 252 / 12
h = 21
Therefore, the height (h) of the triangle is 21 feet.
