It is given that,


\begin{gathered} Area\text{ = 48 m}^{2\text{ }} \\ Height\text{ = 12 m} \\ Base\text{ = x} \end{gathered}

Area of the triangle is calculated as,


\begin{gathered} Area\text{ = }(1)/(2)\text{ }*\text{ Base }*\text{ Height} \\ 48\text{ = }(1)/(2)\text{ }*\text{ x }*\text{ 12} \\ x\text{ = }(48*2)/(12) \\ x\text{ = 8 m } \end{gathered}

Thus the base of the given right angled triangle is 8 m.
