Question

The area of a triangle is 36 4/5 units squared and the height of the triangle 9 1/5 what is the length of the triangles base

Answer 1

Its eight

Explanation:

Since you need to do both steps just do them and then you can simplefiy

Answer 2

Height = 8 units

Explanation:

Area of a triangle =
`36(4)/(5)` square units

=
`(184)/(5)` square units

Height of the triangle =
`9(1)/(5)` units

=
`(46)/(5)` units

Formula to calculate the area of a triangle is,

Area =
`(1)/(2)(\text{Base})(\text{Height})`

`(184)/(5)= (1)/(2)* ((46)/(5))* (\text{Height})`

`(184)/(5)= ((46)/(10))* (\text{Height})`

Height =
`(184)/(5)* (10)/(46)`

=
`(368)/(46)`

= 8 units

Therefore, height of the given triangle is 8 units.
