Answer: 24 inches.

Explanation:

To find area of triangles, you can use the following formula:


A = (b*h)/2, where b is your base and h is your height.

You have the area and the height, so you can solve for the base:


408 = 34b/2

Multiply both sides by 2:


816 = 34b

Then, divide both sides by 34 to get your base.
