Question

The grea of a triangle is 14 square units and the height is 7 units.

What is the length of the base?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

First, you need to know the formula for a triangle: a=b*h*1/2

Now, let's plug in the values. It should look like this, 14=b*7*1/2

We know that whatever is multiplied by 7 must be divided by 2 (or *1/2) to get 14.

So, knowing this we can multiply 14*2=28 becuase 28/2=14. Now we do 28/7=4.

(14=4*7*1/2)

Hope this helps

Answer 2

The length I’m guessing is either 2 because 7 x 2 = 14 or it’s 7 because 7 + 7 = 14. But I would go with 2.
