Answer:

The base of the triangle = 9inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

The area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2} bh$ square units

Given area of the triangle(A) = 54 square inches

Given the height of the triangle (h) = 12 inches

now equating $\frac{1}{2} b h = 54$

$\frac{1}{2} b (12) = 54$

now simplification, we get

6 b = 54

Dividing '6' on both sides, we get

b = 9

The base of the triangle = 9 inches

Conclusion:-

The base of the triangle = 9 inches
