Step-by-step explanation:
The area of an isosceles, equalateral or right angled triangle is 1/2 base × height. I will assume that triangle PQR is an isosceles triangle with base PR. Height QS is given as 8 cm. Area of triangle PQR is given as 24 cm^2.
A = 1/2 base × height.
24 cm^2 = (PR ÷ 2) x 8 cm
PR ÷ 2 = 24 cm^2 ÷ 8 cm
PR ÷ 2 = 3 cm
PR = 6 cm
The length of the base PR = 6 cm.
