a triangle has an area of 54 m2 and a height of 9m how long is the base of the triangle entered your answer in the box
Delvig [45]
Answer:
base of the triangle = 12 m

Explanation:
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
We are given that:
area = 54 m^2
height = 9 m

Substitute in the equation to get the base as follows:
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
54 = 1/2 * base * 9
108 = 9*base
base = 12 m

Hope this helps :)
