Question

What is the base of the triangle WHEN the Heighth equals 8 meters, and the Area equals 28 meters to the power of two?​

Answer 1

The base of the triangle is 7 meters.

Explanation:

Use the equation for the area of a triangle:
`A = (bh)/(2)`

b represents base, h represents height, or altitude.

Substitute the known values into the equation

`A = (bh)/(2)`

`28 = (b(8))/(2)`

`28 = (8b)/(2)`

`28*2 = 8b`

`56 = 8b`

`56/8 = b`

`b = 7`

The base of the triangle is 7 meters.
