The area of the triangle below is 25/24
​
square inches. What is the length of the base? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Base is 5/2

Explanation:

lets say that 2x = the base.

25/24 = 2(
`(1)/(2)`(
`(5)/(6)`)x)

`(25)/(24)` = 2(
`(5)/(12)`x)

`(25)/(24)` =
`(5)/(6)`x

`(25)/(24)` times
`(6)/(5)`= x

5/4 =x

2x = 10/4

2x = 5/2
