Question

What is the base of a triangle that has a height of 6 cm in an area of 18 cm

Answer 1

Greetings!

By using the equation for the area of a triangle you can find the base size. The equation is:

`(b * h)/(2)`

So to rearrange to make b the subject:

`b = (2a)/(h)`

Where a is the area and h is the height. So plug the values into the equation:

`(2 * 18)/(6)` = 6

So the base length is 6cm!

Hope this helps!
