Question

If the area of a right triangle is 9/16 sq. ft. and the height is 3/4 ft, write an equation that relates the area to the base,b, and the height. solve the equation to determine the base. help me you will take 20 points (: plsssssss help me ):

Answer 1

Base = 1.5 ft

Explanation:

Area = ½ × base × height

9/16 = ½ × base × 3/4

9/16 = 3/8 × base

base = 9/16 × 8/3

base = 3/2

base = 1½ ft
