Question

Find the dimension of the triangle

Answer 1

Given:

The area of the triangle is 24 yd²

The height of the triangle is 4 yd.

We need to determine the base of the triangle.

Base of the triangle:

The base of the triangle can be determined using the formula,

`Area=(1)/(2)bh`

where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Substituting
`Area =24, h=4` in the above formula, we have;

`24=(1)/(2)b(4)`

Simplifying, we get;

`24=2b`

`12=b`

Thus, the base of the triangle is 12 yard.

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
