Area of rectangle = length x width
i think here length = 12
Width = 8

so area = 12x 8

= 96 square


The area of the triangle = 1/2 (A)(B)

where A is the altitude to the base (B) of the triangle and base is equal to 32 and area is 96 sq.

96 = 1/2 (A)(32)

96 = A (16)

A = 96/16


A = 6 inches

So length of altitude is 6 inches
