Answer:

he base length of triangle = 16 yd

Explanation:

Formula:-

Area of triangle

area A = bh/2

b - base of triangle

h - height of triangle

To find the area of triangle

It is given that,A triangle has an area of 80 yd^2 and a height of 10 yd.

here, b = ?, A = 80 yd^2 and h = 10 yd

A = bh/2

80 = (b*10)/2

5b = 80

b = 80/5 = 16

Therefore the base length of triangle = 16 yd

The base of the triangle is 16 yards long. Verify:
1/2 * 16 * 10 = 80 Check.
