I am helping my daughter with her math homework. We can figure them all out except one. Since the folks on this forum are the smartest people on the face of the earth, I thought you might be able to assist. Here it is.
If the height of a triangle with a base of 8 inches is tripled, it's area is increased by 96 square inches. Find the height of the triangle.
I know that the area of a triangle is, 1/2 base x height. It just doesn't seem like there is enough information there to get the answer. Maybe I am just having a brain fart.
