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?

Answer 1

To find the height of the flag, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Given that the base is 3 feet and the area is 9 feet squared, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the height:

9 = 1/2 * 3 * height
9 = 1.5 * height
height = 9 / 1.5
height = 6 feet

Therefore, the height of the flag is 6 feet.
