Question

The triangle shown below has an area of 32 units^2

Find the missing side

X= ______ units

Answer 1

Answer:

$x$ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height  (where the height is perpendicular - at a right angle - to the base)

For this triangle, base = 8, height = $x$

Therefore,  32 = 1/2 x 8 x $x$

                   32 = 4$x$

                     $x$ = 8
