What is the base length of the triangle?


A) 2 m

B) 4 m

C) 5 m

D) 15 m

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

sorry if im late took the test

Answer 2

4 m

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle with height h and base b is

A = (1/2)bh.

Here, A = 10 m^2 = (1/2)(b)(5 m).

Multiplying both sides by 2, to eliminate fractions, we get:

20 m^2 = b(5m)

Simplify this by dividing both sides by 5m:

4 meters = b

The base of this triangle is 4 m.
