A triangle has a base of 17 inches and a area of 127.5 square inches. What is the height of the triangle?

We know that area=0.5*base*height.

Thus, the equation would look like:

127.5=0.5*base*height

That means, 255 = base*height.

We know base is 17

Then, we divide 255 by 17. That gets us the height.

The height equals 15.
