Question

Find the base of a triangle with an area of 45 square yards and a height of 20 yards.

Answer 1

Base, b = 4.5 yards

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Area of triangle = 45 square yards

Height = 20 yards

To find the base of the triangle;

Mathematically, the area of a triangle is given by the formula;

Area of triangle = ½ * b * h

Where;

b is the base of the triangle.

h is the height of the triangle.

45 = ½ * b * 20

90 = 20b

Base, b = 90/20

Base, b = 4.5 yards
