Question

Consider the original triangle and the reduction.

Answer 1

answer

6 cm.

Explanation:

Since they've given use the area of the triangle, we can use the area formula to find the base of the triangle.

The formula to find the area of a triangle is:

a

=

1

2

h

b

→

(

h = height

,

b= base

)

We know:

a

=

24

h

=

8

So we can substitute them in and find

b

:

24

=

1

2

(

8

)

b

Multiply by sides by 2 and then divide:

24

×

2

=

1

2

(

8

)

b

×

2

48

=

8

b
