Rainee cuts a triangle out of felt. The base of her triangle is 7 inches, and the area of her triangle is 43.75 square inches. What is the height of Rainee’s triangle? Write your answer in decimal form.(1 point)
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Substitute the values given in the question:
43.75 = 0.5 * 7 * height
Solve for height:
height = 43.75 / (0.5 * 7)
height = 43.75 / 3.5
height = 12.5
Therefore, the height of Rainee's triangle is 12.5 inches.
