Question

The area of the triangle is 65 square feet. The height of the triangle is 26ft. What is the length, in feet, of the base of the triangle?

(There’s no drawing of a triangle here)

Answer 1

X · 26 x 1/2 = 65

X · 13 = 65

Divide by 13 on both sides:

X = 5

Let's double check

5 x 26 x 1/2 = 65, it works!
