Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area of triangle =2 1/4 square inches

Area =9/4 square inches

Height of triangle =1/8 inches

We know that the expression for the area of triangle is

Area = 1/2Base *Height

9/4=1/2*Base *1/8

9/4=Base/16

Cross multiply

16*9=Base*4

144=Base*4

Base =144/4

Base=36 inches
