Answer:

Base = 8

Explanation:

Area of a triangle can be calculated as:

Area = 0.5 x Base x Height

The values of the area and the height are given in order to find the length.

A= 52 in^2

Height= 13

First we have to find the base or the length. Using the values above we can set up the equation as:

1. 52= (0.5)(13)(b)

2. 52/0.5(13)

3. b=8

Answer: The length of the guitar or the base would be 8 inches.

I hope this helps and for future problems regarding this topic use the formula above!!

Formula: 0.5 x Base x Height
