Find the missing dimension of the triangle.
Area= 24yd^2

Answer 1

base = 12 yd is correct.

Explanation:

Answer 2

base = 12 yd

Explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here A = 24 and h = 4, thus

24 =
`(1)/(2)` × b × 4

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

48 = 4b ( divide both sides by 4 )

base = 12
