Aships triangular signal flag has a base of 8 in and an area of 64 in. what is the height of the signal flag? show work

The formula in computing the area of the triangle is:

A = bh/2

Where A = area of the triangle

              b = base of the triangle

              h = height of the triangle

What is asked in the problem is the height of the triangle and you are already given the area so you substitute the given measurements to the formula:

64 = 8(h) / 2

2 (64) = 8h

8h = 128

h = 16

Therefore, the height of the signal flag is 16 in

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
