Question

What is the missing length?

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a triangle is: A = 1/2 * base * height.

Using this formula, let's plug in what we know.

69.6 = 1/2 * 8.7 * height

Next, we'll go ahead and get rid of that 1/2 by multiplying everything by its reciprocal, 2.

139.2 = 8.7 * height

Then, all that's left is to divide both sides by 8.7.

Height = 16 yards

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A =1/2 bh  where b is the base length  and h is the height

Substitute the values in

69.6 = 1/2 ( 8.7) * p

69.6 = 4.35p

Divide each side by 4.35

69.6/4.35 = p

16 = p
