Answer :

Answer:

[tex]3\frac{2}{9} units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Area of a triangle as [tex]5\frac{4}{5}[/tex] square units

The base is [tex]3\frac{3}{5}[/tex] units

We are supposed to determine the height of the  triangle;

We know that the area of a triangle is given by the formula;

Area = 0.5 × b × h

Therefore, in this case;

[tex]Area = 0.5*3\frac{3}{5}*h[/tex]

But, Area [tex]=5\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]5\frac{4}{5}=0.5*3\frac{3}{5}*h[/tex]

[tex]5\frac{4}{5}=1\frac{4}{5}*h[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]h=5\frac{4}{5}/1\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]h=3\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the height is [tex]3\frac{2}{9}[/tex] units
