The area of a triangle is 494 cm. sq. If base is 38 cm, find the height.

The formula for area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height.

Using the given information we can solve for the height:

494 = 1/2 x 38 x height

Divide both sides by 38:

13 = 1/2 x height

Multiply each side by 2:

26 = height.

The height is 26 cm.
