A triangle has an area 50 cm² and a height of 7 cm. Find the length of the base.

`\\`

To find:

• Base of triangle

`\\`

Given:

• Area of triangle
• Height of triangle

`\\`

Solution :

`\\`

We know:-

Area of triangle = (Base × Height)/2

`\\`

Therefore:-

`\\`

⇢ Area of triangle = (Base × Height)/2

`\\`

⇢ 50 = (Base × 7)/2

`\\`

⇢ 50 × 2 = Base × 7

`\\`

⇢ 100 = Base × 7

`\\`

⇢ Base × 7 = 100

`\\`

⇢Base = 100/7

`\\`

⇢ Base = 1.43 cm (approx)
