4. Find the base of a triangle if its height
is 2 3/4 cm and its area is 12 5/8cm². Write
your answer as a mixed number.

Respuesta :

The base of the triangle is 9 2/11 cm.

Given the height of the triangle is = 2 3/4 cm

area of the triangle is = 12 5/8 cm²

we know the area of the triangle is = 1/2 × b × h

but base = ?

therefore, 12 5/8 cm² = 1/2 × b × 2 3/4 cm

convert improper fraction to proper fraction.

101/8 = 1/2 × b × 11/4

101/8 = 11b/8

like terms gets cancelled

101 = 11b

b = 101/11

b = 9 2/11 cm

Hence we get the base of the triangle as 9 2/11 cm.
