Question

The area of this triangle is 200ft what does x have to be height is 12 feet and base 5x feet

Answer 1

1/2(5x*12)= 200
5x*12=400
5x=33 1/3
x= 6 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

x=6.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that area of triangle is 200 square feet .

Height of triangle =12 feet

Base of triangle =5x feet

We have to find the value of x

We know that area of triangle with base b and height h

Area of triangle =$\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h$

Substitute the values then we get

Area of triangle =$\frac{1}{2}\times 5x\times 12$

$200=30 x$

$x=\frac{200}{30}$

$x=6.67$

Hence, x=6.67
