Question

A triangle has a height of 11.6 centimeters and an area of 54.52 square centimeters.What is its length?

Answer 1

A = BH/2 --- Equation for triangle area
54.52cm² = B(11.6cm)/2 --- Substitute the numbers in for Area and Height
*2 *2 --- Multiply both sides by 2
_______________
109.04cm² = (11.6cm)B
/11.6cm /11.6 cm --- Divide both sides by 11.6cm to isolate B
_________________
9.4cm = B ---Length is equal to 9.4 cm.

Answer 2

(54.52(2)) / 11.6= 109.04/ 11.6= 9.4

The height is 9.4cm

Hope this helps!
