Use to represent the length of the base. An equation to find the length of the base of the triangle is 98 = . The length of the base of the triangle is inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of base of the triangle=32 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Area of triangular bandana=98 square inches

Height of triangle=6 and 1/8 inches=$6+\frac{1}{8}=6.125 inches$

We have to find the length of base  of the triangle.

We know that

Area of triangle=$\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

Using the formula

$98=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times 6.125$

$base=\frac{98\times 2}{6.125}$

$base=32$ in

Hence, the length of base of the triangle=32 inches
