Answer:Given:

Triangle

height 14 inches

area 245 inches square

Formula in finding the area of a triangle is:

Area = (height * base) / 2

The base is missing, so we need to compute its value using the given figures.

245 = (14 * b) / 2

245 * 2 = 14b

490 = 14b

490/14 = b

35 = b

The base is 35 inches.
