Question

A triangle has an area of 240 square Inches. The height of the triangle is 15 inches. What is the length of the base of the triangle? 6.6.1 no​

Answer 1

Answer:

$32\:\mathrm{in}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by $A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h$.

Substituting given values, we have:

$240=\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot 15,\\480=15b,\\b=\frac{480}{15}=\boxed{32\:\mathrm{in}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Base=32 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=240

Height= 15

Area= b*h/2

2A/h=b

2*240/15=b

b=32
