The correct answer is: [A]: " 29.4 ft. "

___________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

___________________________________________________

Solve for "b" ; which is the "base" .

14.7 ft. = (1/2) * b ;

→ (1/2) * b = 14.7 ft ;

Multiply EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;

to isolate "b" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "b" ;

___________________________________________________

2 * { (1/2) b } = 2 * (14.7 ft) ;

to get:

b = 29.4 ft . ;

_______________________________________________________

which is: Answer choice: [A]: " 29.4 ft. "
