You use the formula: Area = (1/2) x (base) x (height).
Now you probably want me to solve it, and give you the answer too. OK.
(1/2) x (130) x (height) = 120
65 height = 120
height = 120/65 = 1.846 ft (rounded)
There you have it. Your triangle sits on a base that's 130-ft wide, and it has a height of less than 2-ft.
Beautiful.

the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height
The squared area of a triangle is half of its base times its perpendicular height. Or as: 0.5*base*perpendicular height = area of a triangle
Area of a triangle = (1/2)(base)(height)
Height = 8 cm
The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height, where A represents the area, the base is the length of the triangle's base, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex. This formula is derived from the fact that the area of a triangle is half the product of its base and height. By plugging in the values for the base and height into the formula, you can easily determine the area of the triangle.
