Question

the area of a triangle is 96 2. the height of the triangle is 8 inches. find the perimeter of the triangle if each side of the triangle is the same length as the triangle’s base.

Answer 1

Area = 1/2 bh
96 = 1/2 x b x 8 = 4b
b = 96/4 = 24 inches

Perimeter = 3b [since the other sides are equal to the base]

P = 3 x 24 = 72 inches.
