The area of the triangle is 33.6 square inches. If the h eyesight of the triangle is 4 inches what is the length of the base

Using the formula for the area of a triangle we can solve for the base.

The formula for area of a triangle is : Area = 1/2 x base x height

We are given the area and the height:

33.6 = 1/2 x 4 x base

Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the 1/2:

67.2 = 4 x base

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for the base:

67.2 /4 = 16.8

Check: Area = 1/2 x 4 x 16.8 = 33.6

The base is 16.8 inches.

What is the exact value of cos 45° ?

Georgia [21]

Let the two sides of a right triangle be equal to one, which means that the hypotenuse is √2

Since cosa=adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos45=1/√2

We can rationalize the denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator by √2

√(2)/2

or if you prefer: √(1/2)
