Question

The area of a triangle is 32

square inches.The height of the triangle is 8 inches.What is the length of the base of the triangle?

Answer 1

We have the formula A = (h x b) / 2, where A is the area of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle, b is the base of the triangle;
So, 32 =(8 x b) / 2;
Then, 64 = 8 x b;
b = 64 ÷ 8;
b = 8 inches;
