Question

Find the missing dimension of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

b=7m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has height 8 m, base b m, and area ,28 m².

The area of a triangle is given by:

$A= \frac{1}{2} bh$

We substitute the given information to get:

$28 = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times 8$

Let us simplify on the right side.

$28 = 4b$

You can now divide both sides by 4

$\frac{28}{4} = b$

$b = 7$

Therefore the base is 7 m.
