Question

The triangle shown below has an area of 32 units^2

2
squared.
Find the missing side.
=x, equals
units

Answer 1

Answer: Varies, missing side lengths could be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, choose the one that works BEST for answering your problem, as there was no image

Explanation:

for the triangle to have an area of 32, the "square" that it would make when multiplying the area by 2 would be 64...

so factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64.

1 and 64 don't seem like good dimensions for the triangle, but could work

2 and 32 is another possibility

4 and 16 can work too

8 and 8 also is possible...

so pluging the lengths into the formula for a triangle...

(b* h)/2 should get you to 32.
