What is the height of a triangle, if the area is 20 square inches and the base is 5 inches? Be sure that you can explain how you found your answer.

so normally we would be finding the area of a triangle which is a=h*b/2

but in this case we are finding the height so theirs 3 ways to do this but i prefer the basic way

20=1/2(5)h

20=2.5

8=h

and to find out if that was correct lets do  8*5=40      40/ 2 =20  so this is correct

the height is 8

step-by-step explanation:

it will be a cylinder. with a diameter of 8 and 4 single pieces high
