Question

The area of a triangle is 150 cm^2. If the area of a triangle is given by the formula A=0/5b*h, write an equation which relates the triangle's base, b, as a function of its height, h. (In other words, solve for the base, in therms of h: b=_________

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the area of a triangle is 150cm^2, the formula would look like:

150=0.5b*h

So, if we were to solve for the base in terms of h, we'd simply divide both sides by 0.5b getting:

(150)/(0.5b)=h

which simplifies to

h=300b
