Write an algebraic equation to solve for the triangle's height. Area of the triangle = 36.8 inches. Height is x and base is 4.6 inches.

The formula to find the Height of a triangle when you have the Area and the base is H = 2 * A/b

if the Area is 36.8 then divide it by 4.6. You get 8. put 36.8 in calculator first, then 4.6 = 8

2 x 8 = 16 ... so the answer should be 16 inches.

2 is in the formula to multiply to the number you get after dividing the base into the Area.
