Question

A triangle has an area of 240 square Inches. The height of the triangle is 15 inches. What is the length of the base of the triangle? 6.6.1 no​

Answer 1

Base=32 inches

Explanation:

Area=240

Height= 15

Area= b*h/2

2A/h=b

2*240/15=b

b=32

Answer 2

`32\:\mathrm{in}`

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by
`A=(1)/(2)\cdot b\cdot h`.

Substituting given values, we have:

`240=(1)/(2)\cdot b\cdot 15,\\480=15b,\\b=(480)/(15)=\boxed{32\:\mathrm{in}}`
