Question

The triangle shown below has an area of 444 units^2 2 squared. Find the missing side.

Answer 1

`\boxed{\tt x=2\: units}`

Explanation:

First, we need to set up an equation using the formula for the area of a triangle.

`\boxed{\tt Area=\cfrac{1}{2} * \: base* height}`

Given:

Area: 4

Base: x

Height: 4

____________________

`\tt 4=\cfrac{1}{2} *\: x*4`

`\longmapsto\tt 4=2x`

Divide both sides by 2:

`\longmapsto\tt \cfrac{4}{2}=\cfrac{2x}{2}`

`\longmapsto\tt x=\cfrac{4}{2}`

`\longmapsto\tt x=2`

Therefore, the missing side is 2 units.
