Find the missing dimension of each triangle described Height: 7 in., area: 21 in2

1 answer:

6 0

The basic dimensions of any triangle are its area, base, and height.
They're related by the area equation; the area is half of the base times the height, or:
$A=\frac{1}{2} b h$
We know the area and the height, so the missing dimension has to be the base. Let's set up an equation by substituting the values the problem gives into the area equation.
$21=\frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot 7$
Can you solve this equation for $b$ ?

Answer: 1 1/2
Explanation: the first number of the division problem stays the same but you flip the second fraction witch is 1/2 then that will be 2/1 then change the division symbol into a multiplication symbol and 3/4 times 2/1 and that equals6/4 and 6/4 is divisible by two so you divide 6/4 x 2. That equals 3/2 and you had to make that a mixed number so you divide two and 33 on the inside of the house and two on the outside. Two goes into threewants and when is your whole number and your remainder is one and one is your numerator and two is your denominator.
