Question

Determine the length of the base if the height of a triangle is 28 feet and the area of the triangle is 350 square feet.

Answer 1

Answer: 25 ft

Explanation:

For a triangle, the area is given by

A = (1/2)base*height

Rearranging,

base = 2A/height

Substituting the given values,

base = 2(350 ft^2)/(28 ft) = 25 ft
