Question

What is the base of a triangle that has a height of 6 centimeters and an area of 18 centimeters? Use the formula h = StartFraction 2 A Over b EndFraction, where A represents the area of the triangle, h represents the height, and b represents the length of the base.

Answer 1

Answer: 6cm

Explanation:

Height of the triangle = 6cm

Area = 18cm

Base = Unknown

Area of a triangle= (base × height)/2

18 = (base × 6)/2

18 × 2 = base × 6

36 = base × 6

Base = 36/6

Base = 6cm
