Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Answer 2

Find out the base.

To prove

As given

The area of a triangular-shaped rug is 12 square yards and the height is 3 yards.

Formula

`Area\ of\ triangle = (1* base* height)/(2)`

As given

Area = 12 square yards

Height = 3 yards

Put in the formua

`12 = (1* Base* 3)/(2)`

`Base= (12* 2)/(3)`

`Base= (24)/(3)`

Base = 8 yards

Therefore the base of the triangular-shaped rug is 8 yards.
