Jessica was given the area and the length of the base of a triangle. A = 17.5 units, b = 5 units. She solved the formula for area for h to find the height of the triangle. Determine if Jessica solved the equation correctly and found the correct answer. If not, describe what mistake she made and solve the formula for h correctly and justify your steps. A = bh

A · b = h

(17.5) (5) = h

43.75 = h

The height of the triangle is 43.75 units.
