To find :-

The base of a triangle glass window

Given :-

Height of the window = 48 inches

Area of glass = Area of traingle = 1728 square inches

There is a formula to find area of triangle

`area = (1)/(2) * base * height \\ 1728 = (1)/(2) * base * 48 \\ 1728 = 24 * base \\ (1728)/(24) = base \\ 72 \: inches = base`

Result :-

The base of triangle window of beach house is 72 inches.
