Question

What is the missing length?
10 yd
=
Area of shaded region
50 yd?

Answer 1

v = 10 yd

Explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 10 , h = v and A = 50 , then

`(1)/(2)` × 10v = 50

5v = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

v = 10
