Question

A triangular pane of glass has a helght of 34 Inches and an area of 374 square Inches. What is the length of the base of the pane? The length of the base of the pane is Inches.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Height = 34 in

Area = 374 in^2

The length of the base can we obtained applying the following relationship:

`\text{Area}=\frac{\text{Base}\cdot\text{Height}}{2}`

Replacing terms:

`374=\frac{\text{Base}\cdot34}{2}`

Multiplying both sides by 2/34:

`374\cdot(2)/(34)=\text{Base}`

Multiplying fractions:

`22=\text{Base}`

Switching sides:

Base = 22 units

The answer is 22 inches
