Question

Find the missing dimension of the triangle. A triangle with base labeled b, height labeled 6 feet, and height labeled 14 square feet.

Answer 1

4⅔ or 4.67 feet

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is ½bh

½×b×6=14

3b=14

14÷3=4⅔

Answer 2

4.67 feet

Explanation:

The computation of missing dimension of the triangle is given below:

As we know that

Area of the triangle = 1 ÷ 2 × base × height

14 = 1 ÷ 2 × base × 6

14 = 3 × base

So, the base is

= 14 ÷ 3

= 4.67 feet

Here we assume the area to be 14 square feet
