Answer:

Base = 26 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the area of a triangle as:

Area = (Base x Height) / 2

In our case, this formula converts into:

546 in^2 = Base x 42 in /2

multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of fractions:

1092 in^2 = Base x 42 in

divide both sides by "42 in" to isolate the Base completely

1092 in^2 / 42 in = Base

Therefore Base = 26 in
