Question

The area of triangle xyz is 35 cm. the height is 10cm. what is the base of the triangle?

Answer 1

Base of the triangle = 7 cm

Explanation:

Given information,

→ Area of triangle = 35 cm

→ Height = 10 cm

Now we have to,

→ Find the base of the triangle.

Formula we use,

→ Area = ½ × b × h

Forming the equation,

→ (1/2) × b × 10 = 35

Then the value of b will be,

→ (1/2) × b × 10 = 35

→ (b × 10)/2 = 35

→ 10b/2 = 35

→ 10b = 35 × 2

→ 10b = 70

→ b = 70/10

→ [ b = 7 cm ]

Hence, the value of b is 7 cm.

Answer 2

Area of Triangle=1/2(h x b)
35=1/2(10 x b)
35=5 x b
35=5b
7cm=b is the base of the triangle
