Answer 1

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

Area = (base * height) / 2

Given that the base is 7 inches and the area is 43.75 square inches, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the height:

43.75 = (7 * height) / 2
43.75 = 3.5 * height
height = 43.75 / 3.5
height = 12.5

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