Question

a triangle has an area of 16 sq ft the height is 8ft what is the length of the base

Answer 1

Area = 16

Height = 8

Area of triangle =

1/2 × base × height

1/2 × x × 8 = 16

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

The base is 4

Answer 2

given area of triangle =16 sq ft
area of triangle =1/2 x base x height
16 = 1/2 x base x8
16 = base x 4
base = 16/4
base= 4
