Answer:

The base of the triangle is 7 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation for the area of a triangle: [tex]A = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

b represents base, h represents height, or altitude.

Substitute the known values into the equation

[tex]A = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

[tex]28 = \frac{b(8)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]28 = \frac{8b}{2}[/tex]

[tex]28*2 = 8b[/tex]

[tex]56 = 8b[/tex]

[tex]56/8 = b[/tex]

[tex]b = 7[/tex]

The base of the triangle is 7 meters.
