Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
Plug in what we know.
78 = 1/2 × b × 9¾
Multilply each side by 2 to get rid of the 1/2...
156 = b × 9¾
Write 9¾ as an improper fraction.
(9¾ = 9 + 3/4 = (9×4)/4 + 3/4 = 36/4 + 3/4 = 39/4)
156 = b × 39/4
Multiply each side by 4...
624 = b × 39
Divide each side by 39...
16 = b
Done! The length of the base of the triangle is <u>16</u> inches.

Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2
(8+24) * 8 = x^2
32*8 = x^2
256 =x^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(256) = sqrt(x^2)
16 = x
