Answer:
14/3
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
Substitute the known variables into the equation
[tex]A = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]
[tex]14 = \frac{b(6)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]14 = \frac{6b}{2}[/tex]
Isolate b and solve
[tex]14*2 = 6b[/tex]
[tex]28 = 6b[/tex]
[tex]28/6 = b[/tex]
[tex]b = 14/3[/tex]
Therefore the base is 14/3 ft.
