Question

The Base of a triangle is 3cm longer than its corresponding height if the area is 44cm².

find the length of its base

Answer 1

The length of the base would be 11.

Explanation:

The formula of finding the area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height. Therefore, we know that since the area is 44 cm², the base and height would multiply to 88. 11 x 8 = 88 and 11 - 8 = 3. So, the base is 3cm longer which is 11.
