Atriangular sail has a base length of 2.5 meters. the area of the sail is 3.75 square meters. how tall is the sail?

Hi, Idgagirls! :)

We can figure out how tall the sail is with the formula to the find the area of a triangle, which is:




Lets insert the information we already know:

Solve for h.
Divide both sides by 2.5.

Simplify.

Multiply both sides by 2.

h=3

The sail is 3 meters high.

Hope this helps.
