Answer:

Base = 16 cm


Explanation:

Area of triangle is given by:

Area of Triangle =
(1)/(2)bh

Where
b is the base and
h is the height.


The problem says that area is 56 (
A=56) and height is 7 (
h=7)

Plugging in the values we can solve for base:


A=(1)/(2)bh\\56=(1)/(2)b(7)\\56=(7)/(2)b\\b=(56)/((7)/(2))=56*(2)/(7)=16

Hence, the base of the triangle is 16 cm
