Question

I need helping finding out the answer (don’t mind my last name so n the picture)

Answer 1

`\text{base}=\text{ 9.5 inches}`

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is represented by the following equation;

`\text{Area}=\frac{\text{base}\cdot\text{height}}{2}`

Then, if the height is 82.65 square inches and the height is 17.4 inches, solve for the base:

`\begin{gathered} 82.65=(1)/(2)\cdot b\cdot17.4 \\ b=(82.65\cdot2)/(17.4) \\ b=(19)/(2) \\ b=9.5\text{ inches} \end{gathered}`
