Question

The area of a triangle is

12 m2 and the height is 4
meters. What is the base of
the triangle?

Answer 1

6 is the base

Explanation:

to find the base, you do

b = 2 × A/h

b = 2 × 12/4 = 6

A = Area = 12

h = height = 4

b = base = 6

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

a=bh/2

12=4b/2, simplify = 12=2b/1

divide 2 to both sides

12=2b

6=b
