Question

A triangle has an area of 54 square inches the height of the triangle is 12 inches what is the length of the base of the triangle?

Answer 1

The base of the triangle = 9inches

Explanation:

Explanation:-

The area of the triangle =
`(1)/(2) bh` square units

Given area of the triangle(A) = 54 square inches

Given the height of the triangle (h) = 12 inches

now equating
`(1)/(2) b h = 54`

`(1)/(2) b (12) = 54`

now simplification, we get

6 b = 54

Dividing '6' on both sides, we get

b = 9

The base of the triangle = 9 inches

Conclusion:-

The base of the triangle = 9 inches
