Jamie measures the length and height of a triangular flag. If the flag’s base is 3 feet and the area is 9 feet squared, what is the height of the flag?(1 point)

Answer 1

The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = 1/2 * base * height.

Given that the base is 3 feet and the area is 9 feet squared, we can plug in the values:

9 = 1/2 * 3 * height

Solving for height:

9 = 1.5 * height
height = 6 feet

Therefore, the height of the flag is 6 feet.
