Answer:

8 meters

Explanation:

The formula for the area of the triangle is
(Base * Height)/(2). You can do inverse operations to find the length.

You can solve this question algebraically.

24 =
(l * 6)/(2)

Multiply both sides by two to isolate the variable.

48 = l · 6

Divide both sides by 6.


(48)/(6) = 8

l = 8

So, the length of the triangle is 8 meters.
