Question

A right triangle has an area of 33 mm2 and a height of 11 mm. How long is the base of the triangle? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

6mm is the answer.
1/2base*height

Answer 2

The base of the triangle is
`6\ mm`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a triangle is equal to

`A=(1)/(2)bh`

In this problem we have

`A=33\ mm^(2)`

`h=11\ mm`

substitute and solve for b

`33=(1)/(2)b(11)`

`b=33*2/11=6\ mm`
