Question

A triangle has an area of 54 m2 and a height of 9 m.
How long is the base of the triangle?

Answer 1

So your answer is 12m.

Explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height

We are given that:

area = 54 m^2

height = 9 m

Substitute in the equation to get the base as follows:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height

54 = 1/2 * base * 9

108 = 9*base

base = 12 m

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

the base of the triangle would be 12m
