To find:
[tex] \\ [/tex]
Given:
- Area of triangle
- Height of triangle
[tex] \\ [/tex]
Solution :
[tex] \\ [/tex]
We know:-
Area of triangle = (Base × Height)/2
[tex] \\ [/tex]
Therefore:-
[tex] \\ [/tex]
⇢ Area of triangle = (Base × Height)/2
[tex] \\ [/tex]
⇢ 50 = (Base × 7)/2
[tex] \\ [/tex]
⇢ 50 × 2 = Base × 7
[tex] \\ [/tex]
⇢ 100 = Base × 7
[tex] \\ [/tex]
⇢ Base × 7 = 100
[tex] \\ [/tex]
⇢Base = 100/7
[tex] \\ [/tex]
⇢ Base = 1.43 cm (approx)
