Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh, where b represents the length of the base and h represents the height. Solve the formula for b.

Then, using the information from the previous problem. If a triangle has an area of 192 mm2 , and the height measures 12 mm, what is the measure of the base? 

Answer 1

Explanation:

192=1/2 x b x 12

192=6b

b=32mm

Answer 2

192=1/2 x b x 12
192=6b
b=32mm
