Answer 3

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

Area = (base x height) / 2

Given that the base is 3 feet and the area is 9 feet squared, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:

9 = (3 x height) / 2
9 = 3h / 2
18 = 3h
h = 6

Therefore, the height of the flag is 6 feet.
