Question

The area of a triangle is 17.5 square units. The height of the triangle is 7 units. How many units long is the base?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h , b= base h=height

17.5 = 1/2 * b * 7

Multiply by 2,

35 = 7b

Divide by 7,

b = 35/7 = 5 units
