1 answer

8 inches

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula A = 1/2 * base * height. In this case, we know the area is 24 square inches and the base length is 6 inches.

24 = 1/2 * 6 * height
24 = 3 * height
height = 24/3
height = 8 inches

Therefore, the height of the triangle is 8 inches.
