Rainee cuts a triangle out of felt. The base of her triangle is 7 inches, and the area of her triangle is 43.75 square inches. What is the height of Rainee’s triangle? Write your answer in decimal form

Answer 1

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

Area = (base * height) / 2

Now plug in the given values:

43.75 = (7 * height) / 2

Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate the height:

43.75 * 2 = 7 * height
87.5 = 7 * height

Divide both sides by 7 to solve for the height:

height = 87.5 / 7
height = 12.5

Therefore, the height of Rainee's triangle is 12.5 inches.
