Question

The area of a triangle is,A=1/2 bh, b=base and h=Heights.

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation you need to do the opposite to factor everything out. Since the 6 is being multiplied you need to divide it by 6 and whatever you do to one side you do to the other:

48=1/2b(6)

6÷6=1

48÷6=8

8=1/2b

Multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2. So what we want to do is multiply by 2:

8=1/2b

1/2×2=1

8×2=16

16=b meaning you base is 16

To check your answer you can put 16 in as b

48=1/2(16)6

48=1/2(96)

Remember multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2:

48=48
