Question

The triangle shown below has an area of 4 units
Find the missing side.

Answer 1

`\boxed{4 units}`

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well if the base is 4 and we use the formula,

b*h / 2

4*4 = 16

16/2 = 8

So x is 4.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

x = 2 units

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is given by

base × height

`A = (1)/(2) base × height`

From the question

Area = 4 units²

height = 4 units

let x represent the base

We have

`4 = (1)/(2) * x * 4`

4 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2 units

Hope this helps you
