A triangle has a calculated total area of \(48\text{ m}^2\). If its horizontal base measures \(12\text{ m}\), find its vertical altitude height.
Correct Answer
8 m
Explanation
From \(A = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h\), isolate \(h\):
\[48 = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times h \implies 48 = 6h \implies h = 8\text{ m}\]
