Answer 1

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation: 16*17/2=136

Answer 2

Answer:

The base of triangle is 17 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the formula of area of triangle is, Area = 1/2×base×height. The question has given us the value of area and height so we just have to substitite the values into the formula :

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

Let area be 136 yards²,

Let base be b yards,

Let height be 16 yards,

$136 = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times 16$

$136 = 8 \times b$

$8b = 136$

$8b \div 8 = 136 \div 8$

$b = 17 \: yards$
