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.(1 point)

Answer 1

The area of a triangle is given by the formula:

Area = 0.5 * base * height

Substitute the values given in the question:

43.75 = 0.5 * 7 * height

Solve for height:

height = 43.75 / (0.5 * 7)
height = 43.75 / 3.5
height = 12.5

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