Question

A landscaping company is laying a triangular flower bed. The height of the trangle is 15ft. What lengths of the base will make the area at least 210ft squared?

Answer 1

Answer:

28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the triangle = 15 ft

The least required area A = 210 ft^2

We know that the area of a triangle = 1/2bh

Where

b is the base

h is the height

Substituting, we have

210 = 1/2 x b x 15

210 = 15/2 x b

420/15 = b

b = 28 ft
