Question

Find the base of right triangle if the height is 7 cm and area is 56cm sq

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of the triangle = 56cm sq

Height = 7 cm

Let base be 'b' cm.

Therefore,

Area of triangle = 1/2 ×base×height

56 = 1/2 ×b×7

56 ×2 = 7b

112 = 7b

b = 112/7

b = 16cm
