Question

question 18 (1 point)
the triangle below has an area of 176 square inches.
what is the height of the triangle in inches?
a. 3 inches
b. 8 inches
c. 12 inches
d. 24 inches

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The area formula for a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\), where \(A\) is the area, \(b\) is the base, and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the known values into the formula

We know that \(A = 176\) square inches and \(b=44\) inches. Plugging these into the formula \(176=\frac{1}{2}\times44\times h\).

Step3: Solve for \(h\)

First, simplify \(\frac{1}{2}\times44 = 22\). So the equation becomes \(176 = 22h\). Then divide both sides by 22: \(h=\frac{176}{22}=8\).

Answer:

B. 8 inches
