Finding Dimensions of Geometric Figures
A triangle's height is 6c meters and the base is c- 1 meters. Brian knows that the area of the triangle is 18 square
meters and is trying to find the height. Which shows the equation Brian can use and the correct measure of the
height of the triangle?
Area of a triangle = 0.5(base) (height)
0.5(c - 1)(c) = 18; height = 3 meters
0.5(0 - 1)(c) = 18; height = 18 meters
(c - 1)(c) = 18; height = 3 meters
(0 - 1)(c) = 18, height = 18 meters
