Question

- Abby just sculpted a flat, solid bronze triangle for her art class. (What? There are no wrong answers in art.) If triangle's base is 4 feet long and she used 14 square feet of bronze, how tall is the sculpture?

Answer 1

Area of a triangle: 1/2 x base length x height

We have:

area : 14 ft2

Length: 4 ft

Replacing:

14 = 1/2 (4) h

Solve for h (heigth)

14 = 2 h

14/2 = h

h= 7 ft
