6.25 inches
are you sure that is the right answer
Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's calculate the height using the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (base * height) / 2
Given:
Base = 7 inches
Area = 43.75 square inches
Substitute the values into the formula:
43.75 = (7 * height) / 2
Solve for height:
43.75 = 3.5 * height
height = 43.75 / 3.5
height = 12.5 inches
Therefore, the height of Rainee's triangle is 12.5 inches.
