 $\begin{array}{r} b = & 14.5 \\ h = & h \end{array}$

Step 1

The area of a triangle is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ the base times the height.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b a s e) \cdot (h e i g h t)$

Step 2

Substitute the values of the base $b = 14.5$ and height $h = h$ into the formula for the area of a triangle.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 14.5 \cdot h$

Step 3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $14.5$ .

$\frac{14.5}{2} \cdot h$

Step 4

Divide $14.5$ by $2$ .

$7.25 h$
