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:

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x +8.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient

$m =\frac{y-y1}{x-x1}$

$m = \frac{6-4}{3-8}$

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

Equation of a line

$(y-y1)=m(x-x1)\\$

- Sub one set of points into equation

$(y-6)= -\frac{2}{5} (x-6)$

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x +8.4$
