A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas. The length of the rectangle is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. If the base of the triangle is 32 inches, what is the length, in inches, of the altitude drawn to the base?

Equate the areas of the triangle and the rectangle using the area formulas and solve for the triangle altitude.
