Question

a triangular bandanna has an area of 70 inches.The height of the triangle is 8/3/4.Write and solve an equation to find the length of the base of the triangle

Answer 1

Base = 16 inches

Explanation:

A triangular Bandana has an area of 70 square inches

The height of the triangle is 8
`(3)/(4)`

Area of a triangle is given by;

`(1)/(2)` × base × height

∴

`(1)/(2)` × base ×
`(35)/(4)` = 70

base =
`(70 * 2 * 4)/(35) = 16` inches
