question:The triangle shown has an area of 46 square centimeters. Find the measure of the base (segment AB).

Answer 1

We know that the area of a triangle is (1/2)(base)(height). Therefore, we can solve for the base with the information we have. We are given an area of 46 cm² and a height of 8 cm.

A=(1/2)bh

46=(1/2)(8)b

46=4b

b=46/4

b=11.5 cm

Answer 2

The correct option is 1.

Explanation:

It is given than the area of the triangle ABC is 46cm².

Area of a triangle is

`A=(1)/(2)* base* height`

Base of the triangle is AB and height of the triangle is CD.

`A=(1)/(2)* AB* CD`

`A=(1)/(2)* AB* 8`

`A=4* AB`

The area of the triangle is 46cm².

`46=4* AB`

`AB=(46)/(4)`

`AB=11.5`

Therefore the length of side AB is 11.5 cm. Option 1 is correct.
