Question

A triangular bandana has an area of 82 square inches. The height of the triangle is 5 1 8 inches. Enter and solve an equation to find the length of the base of the triangle. Use b to represent the length of the base. An equation to find the length of the base of the triangle is 82 = . The length of the base of the triangle is inches .

Answer 1

Answer:

32 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle is given by A=bh/2 where A is area, b is base and h is heightand here the h is given as 5 1/8 then the area is also given hence making b the subject of the above formula then b= 2A/h

Substituting A with 82 and h with 5 1/8 then

b=2*82/(5 1/8)=32
