The area of a triangular section of a store cannot be more than 910 sq. ft. If the height of the triangular section is 52 feet, what should the base be?

Answer 1

the area of a triangle is \[a =(base*height)/2\]
if you already have height, just do the following:
\[base = (2*area)/height\]

Answer 2

so
\[A \le 910\]
A = 1/2*b*h
so \[1/2*b*h \le 910\]
since h = 52ft.
1/2*b*52 <= 910.
26b<= 910
b<=35. :)

Answer 3

ok im in agreement whats the arrows for is that representing the equal sign
