Question

Find the missing dimension of the triangle.

Area = 30 mm
-
6 mm
b
b=
mm

Answer 1

10 mm

Explanation:

We know that the formula for a triangle is A= 1/2(b)(h)

Plug in 30mm for the area as shown and 6 for the base= 30=1/2(6)(h)

Solve= 30=3h

Divide each side by 3 to get h by itself. h=10 or b= 10

depends on which one is missing ^^
