Question

The area of the triangle below is 28.5 square inches. What is the length of the base?

Answer 1

Given the following triangle:

Area = 28.5 square in

Height = 7.5 in

We know the area is 28.5 so to find the base we need to ensure that it equals 28.5 after calculating the area.

`(a* h)/(2)=(7.5*7.6)/(2)=7.5*7.6=57/2=28.5`

So the base would be 7.6 inches
