Question

Find the base of the triangle !Area = 48 sq.mHeight = 12 mplease hurry! Thank you!

Answer 1

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.
