Question

Find the missing dimension of the triangle.
Area = 30 mm squared
6 mm = height
b = mm

Answer 1

Answer:

b = 10 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$bh ( b is the base and h the height )

given A = 30 and h = 6 , then

$\frac{1}{2}$b × 6 = 30 , that is

3b = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

b = 10
