Answer 1

40 metre

Explanation:

Given:

height =4 meters

area = 20 square meters

Area of a right triangle can be calculated using the expression below

1/2 b × h

Then substitute the given values

Area of a right triangle= 1/2 × 4 × 20

= 40 metre

Hence, the length of the base of a right triangle is 40 metre
