Question

The front of an a-frame house is in the shape of a triangle.The height of the house is 20 feet.The area of the front of the a-frame is 600 square feet.Write and solve an equation to find the base of the A-frame house

Answer 1

60 feet

Explanation:

Multiply the area by 2 to get 1200 feet. then, divide by 20 to get 60. The base of the a-frame is 60 feet.

Answer 2

So, you have a triangular a-frame. The height is 20 feet, and the area is 600 square feet. The area of a triangle is represented by this equation:


`(1)/(2) *b*h`

Where:
- b is the base length
- h is the height

So, basically just plug things in:
