Answer:

8 (units)

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle is A = 1/2(b*h). Since we know the area already, we can substitute that value in to calculate the answer backwards.

Plug in the numbers known:

A = 100

h = 25

Equation: 100 = 1/2(b*25)

Now solve:

100 = 1/2(b*25)

200 = b * 25

8 = b

So, the answer to your question is 8 (units).

Hope this helps!
