Question

A triangle with a height of 12in.²has an area of 36 in.² how long is the base of the triangle

Answer 1

`6in.^(2)`

Explanation:

To find the area we need to multiply length*height.

Because a triangle is half of a square we need to divide the area by two.

12*6=72

72/2= 36

Answer 2

Answer: 6

Explanation:

Area = ½base × height

36 = ½b × 12

½b = 36/12 =3

Base = 3× 2
