A triangle has an area of 54 square inches the height of the triangle is 12 inches what is the length of the base of the triangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The base of the triangle = 9inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

The area of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex] square units

Given area of the triangle(A) = 54 square inches

Given the height of the triangle (h) = 12 inches

now  equating     [tex]\frac{1}{2} b h = 54[/tex]

                          [tex]\frac{1}{2} b (12) = 54[/tex]

now simplification, we get

                           6 b = 54

Dividing '6' on both sides, we get

                             b = 9

The base of the triangle = 9 inches

Conclusion:-

The base of the triangle = 9 inches
