Question

A triangle has an area of 24 square units. Its height is 6 units. What is the length of its base?

Answer 1

area of triangle=1/2 times base times  height
given that area=24 and height=6
24=1/2 times base times 6
24=1/2 times 6 times base
24=3 times base
divide both sides by 3
8=base
the base is 8 units long

Answer 2

Hey, area of ∆=1/2base ×height
=1/2base×6=24
Base=48/6
=8 is your right answer.
