Question

The area of a triangle is 30 square inches. What is the length of the base if the height is 6 centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here b = x, h = 6 and A = 30 , then

$\frac{1}{2}$ × 6 × x = 30

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10
