The area of a triangle is based on the following equation where A is the area, B is the base length, and h is the height.
A = 1/2 B * h
If you multiple both sides of the equation by 2/B, you get the height.
h = 2*A/B
If this is the only information available for this problem, this should be a satisfactory answer. Without knowing the base length or further information about this triangle, this is the best possible answer.

A = 3, so you could reduce it to h = 6/B. If the student is given the value of B in the problem, she can plug it in to find the value of h. :-)02/21/24
