Question

A triangular bandana has an area of 98 square inches. The height of the triangle is 6 and 1 /8 inches. Enter and solve an equation to find the length of the base of the triangle. Use to represent the length of the base. An equation to find the length of the base of the triangle is 98 = . The length of the base of the triangle is inches.

Answer 1

The length of base of the triangle=32 inches

Explanation:

We are given that

Area of triangular bandana=98 square inches

Height of triangle=6 and 1/8 inches=
`6+(1)/(8)=6.125 inches`

We have to find the length of base of the triangle.

We know that

Area of triangle=
`(1)/(2)* base* height`

Using the formula

`98=(1)/(2)* base* 6.125`

`base=(98* 2)/(6.125)`

`base=32` in

Hence, the length of base of the triangle=32 inches
