Answer:

3.6 inches.

Explanation:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

4.14 = 1/2 * base * 2.3

1/2 * base = 4.14 / 2.3

base = 4.14 * 2 / 2.3

= 3.6.

Answer:

3.6

Given:

are of triangle=4.14

height=2.3

Explanation:

area of the triangle=1/2 × base × height

4.14 = 1/2 × base × 2.3

4.14 = 2.3/2 × base

by cross multiplying,

4.14 × 2 = 2.3 × base

8.28 = 2.3 × base

8.28/2.3 =base

To remove the decimal point, multiply with 100 in both numerator and denominator

8.28×100 / 2.3×100 = base

828/230 = base

base = 3.6

hope it helps you!
