We want to find the length of the height h of the given triangle. From the figure, we know that the base of the triangle is 1.5 inches long and that the area is 2 square inches. Let's see the diagram that illustrates the situation.
The area of a triangle is found by taking half of the product of its base and its height.
A=1/2bh
We can substitute A= 2 and b= 1.5 into this formula and solve for h, the height of the triangle. Let's do it!
