Question

A triangular tent door has an area of 15 square feet. The height is five feet. What is the base?

Answer 1

Answer:

Base = 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle = $\frac{1}{2} Base*Height$

For finding Base:

Base = $\frac{2(Area)}{Height}$

Where Area = 15, Height = 5

Base = $\frac{2(15)}{5}$

Base = 2*3

Base = 6 feet

Answer 2

Answer:

The base is 6 feet long.,

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height so we have

1/2 b h = 15

1/2 b * 5 = 15

2.5 b = 14

b = 15/2.5

b = 6 feet.
