Question

The area of a triangle is 67. If the height was 13, find the value of the base.

Answer 1

20.62
9.89
10.31
2.58
?

Answer 2

area \(= \frac 12 Base \space \times \space Height \)

Answer 3

can you do it from here ?

Answer 4

just use
Area=1/2x(height)x(base)
you will get it just try yourself

Answer 5

yes, basically what i have to do know is solve x*13=67

Answer 6

don't forget the 1/2

Answer 7

10.31

Answer 8

oh yeah! I didn't see that

Answer 9

area of a triangle is (1/2)(base)(height).

Answer 10

I got 2.58

Answer 11

nope, can you show your steps?

Answer 12

oh no, i just found out that is incorrect and I already submitted it. Do you still want to know what I did?

Answer 13

only if you want to learn :-)

Answer 14

1/2bh=67
b=67*2/h
b=134/13
b=10.31

Answer 15

I did 67/13=5.15
5.15/.5= ~2.58

Answer 16

when you divide by 0.5 that's multiplying by 2. you divided by 2.

Answer 17

I need to multiply didn't I?

Answer 18

*needed

Answer 19

abhed showed the right way

Answer 20

you wrote "5.15 / .5 = 2.58", that's not correct

Answer 21

Yeah, thanks abhed!

Answer 22

5.15 / .5 = 10.3

Answer 23

welcome

Answer 24
