Question

The area is 96 square units.The length, x, of the base is __ units.

Answer 1

the best way to resolve this is by using the formula for the area of a triangle

`A=(x\cdot h)/(2)`

where A is the area, x is the base of the triangle, and h is the height

we know that A=96 square units, and h=9.6 units

then,

`96\text{ sq units=}(x\cdot9.6units)/(2)`
`\frac{(96sq\text{ units}\cdot2)}{9.6\text{ units}}=20units=x`

The answer is x=20 units
