The area of a triangle is 600 square feet. Find the altitude, in feet, of the triangle if the length of the corresponding base is 30 feet.
I know that the area of a triangle is given by the formula A = (1/2)bh, where b is the base and h is the altitude. So, if I want to find h, I can rearrange the formula to get h = 2A/b. Now, I can plug in the given values of A and b to get h = 2(600)/30. Simplifying, I get h = 40 feet.
