Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 bh, in which b represents the length of the base and h represents the height. If a triangle has an area of 240 mm2? and the height is 16 mm, what is the measureof the base?
The measure of the base is
mm.

Answer 1

Answer:

30 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: A = 1/2bh
