The length of the base of the triangle is b, the length of the corresponding altitude is h, and the area is A. Find the missing part. 4 in. 6 in. sq. in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 4in and 6in the base and height????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 Area of triangle = ----- * base * height = 0.5 * 4 * 6 = 12 sqin 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how u solve that? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind i got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u r given the values for base and height just put them in and solve...☺

The length of the base of the triangle is b, the length of the corresponding altitude is h, and the area is A. Find the missing part. in. 5 in. 10 sq. in. what do you do for inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If u want, you can also put the units in the formula as follows: 1 Area of triangle = ----- * base * height 2 Here area and altitude area given and u hv to find the length of the base 10 sqin = 0.5 * base * 5 in 10 sqin --------- = base 0.5 * 5 in 4 in = base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The length of the base of the triangle is b, the length of the corresponding altitude is h, and the area is A. Find the missing part. 5 in. in. 12 sq. in. is Height the same way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes same way...... solve n tell me what u get...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is wrong...... can u show me how u calculated it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did 5x0.5x12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here 12 sqin is the area (area has square units) so solve 12 sqin = 0.5 * 5 x h now tell me what u get..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my internets being weird

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 sqin ------- = h 0.5* 5 in 4.8 in = h
