Question

1.The area of Triangle B is 8 square units. Find the length of b. Show your reasoning.2The area of Triangle C is 545 square units. What is the length of h? Show your reasoning.

Answer 1

Given:

The area of the triangle B is 8 square units. And height of the triangle is 8/3 unit.

`\begin{gathered} A=8unit^2 \\ h=(8)/(3)unit \end{gathered}`

Required:

To find the value of b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of triangle is

`A=(bh)/(2)`

Now

`\begin{gathered} 8=(1)/(2)*(8)/(3)* b \\ \\ 8=(8)/(6)b \\ \\ b=8*(6)/(8) \\ \\ b=6unit \end{gathered}`

Final Answer:

The value of b is

`b=6unit`
