Question

1 The area of the triangle is 48 square inches. Which is

the base length of the triangle?
112 in.
b
A b= 2 in.
B b=4 in.
C b= 8 in.
D b = 10 in.​

Answer 1

b= 8 in is the base length of the triangle 12 in.

C b= 8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle can be calculated by using the formula
`1/2 \ b * h` when the area of the triangle is 48 sq. in. It will be assumed that the triangle is an equilateral triangle

Here, if h = 12 in. then base can be calculated by-

`48 = 1/2 \ b * 12`

`48 = 6 * b`

`48 / 6 = b`

`8  = b`

Therefore, the base length is 8 in when the height of the triangle is 12 in and the area of the triangle is 48 in.
