Question

A triangle has an area of 136 square yards and a height of 16 yards. What is the length of the base? ___ yards

Answer 1

The base of triangle is 17 yards.

Explanation:

Given that the formula of area of triangle is, Area = 1/2×base×height. The question has given us the value of area and height so we just have to substitite the values into the formula :

`area = (1)/(2) * base * height`

Let area be 136 yards²,

Let base be b yards,

Let height be 16 yards,

`136 = (1)/(2) * b * 16`

`136 = 8 * b`

`8b = 136`

`8b / 8 = 136 / 8`

`b = 17 \: yards`

Answer 2

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation: 16*17/2=136
