Question

A triangle has an area of 24 square feet. The height is 12 feet. What is the length of the base (in feet)?

Answer 1

Answer:

b =4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A = 1/2 bh

24 = 1/2 b*12

24 = 6b

Divide each side by 6

24/6 =6b/6

4 = b

Answer 2

Answer:

$base = 4 \: \: feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times b \\ 24 = \frac{12b}{2} \\ 24 = 6b \\ \frac{24}{6} = \frac{6b}{6} \\ b = 4 \: feet$
