Question

A triangle has an area of 13.5 square miles and a height of 4.5 miles. What is the length

of the base?

Answer 1

the length of the base= 6miles

Explanation:

Area of triangle =1/2 *Base*Hight

Now we sub the values in the formula:

13.5 = 1/2 * (length of the base) * 4.5

length of the base = (2 * 13.5)/4.5

length of the base = 6 miles

Answer 2

6 miles

Explanation:
Area is :

`A = (1)/(2) hb` OR
`A = (hb)/(2)`
So base is :

`b = 2 (A)/(h)`
Substituting values given:
b = 2 × (13.5÷4.5)
b = 2×3
b=6
