Question

The area of the triangle below is 17.39 square inches. What is the length of the base?

Answer 1

Using the formula of the area of the triangle, we have:

A=b*h/2 (A:area, b: base, h: height)

17.39= b*(3.7)/2 (Replacing)

17.39= b*1.85 (Dividing)

17.39/1.85 = b (Dividing by 1.85 on both sides of the equation)

9.4= b (Dividing)

The answer is 9.4
