Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So first it is useful to know that the area of any right triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
or: [tex]Area = \frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
Now we have the area and its base so we can fill in the equation:
[tex]96 = \frac{1}{2} (16)h[/tex]
All we have to do to solve it is divide by 8 (as 16 divided by 2 is 8) so:
[tex]\frac{96}{8} = h[/tex]
96/8 = 12 so the height is 12
