The length of the base is 9 inches because area= basexheight which makes the base=270/30 in other words 9. Hope that helped.

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is given that A triangular pane of glass has a height of 30 inches and an area of 270 square inches , thus

`Area of triangle=(1)/(2){*}base{*}height`

Substituting the given values, we get

`270=(1)/(2){*}b{*}30`

`270=15b`

`b=18`

Therefore, the length of the base of triangular pane is 18 inches.
