Question

A triangle has a height of 8 feet in an area of 48 feet find the base

Answer 1

area=1/2 times base times height
given
height=8
area=48

48=1/2 times base times 8
48=4 times base
divide both sides by 4
12ft=base

the base is 12ft

Answer 2

area=base x height ÷2
2×48=base x 8
base =12 feet
