A triangle has an area of 80 yd22 and a height of 10 yd How long is the base of the triangle? Enter your answer in the box.

Respuesta :

Area = 80 sq yards
height = 10 yards
80 = .5* 10 * base
base = 16

Answer:

The base of triangle is equal to [tex]16\ yd[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a triangle is equal to

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

where

b is the base of triangle

h is the height of triangle

In this problem we have

[tex]A=80\ yd^{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=10\ yd[/tex]

substitute in the formula and solve for b

[tex]80=\frac{1}{2}b(10)[/tex]

[tex]80=5b[/tex]

[tex]b=80/5=16\ yd[/tex]
