Answer:

8m

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height and then dividing the answer by 2.

A = bh/2

We can use this as a formula to find the base by substituting in the given values:

64 = 16b/2

Multiplying both sides by 2 will get rid of the fraction and isolate the b term:

64x2 = 16b/2 x2

128 = 16b

Finally we divide both sides by 16:

128/16 = 16b/16

8=b

The base is 8m.

Hope this helped!
