Question

The area of a triangle is 10 square inches and its height is 5 inches. Find the base

Answer 1

area of a triangle = \(A = \cfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height\)

Answer 2

so, you have the Area, and you have the height
\(\large 10 = \cfrac{1}{2}\times base \times 5\)
now just solve for "base" to get ... well, the base :)

Answer 3

Base is 4?

Answer 4

Well. Let see.
1/2 * 4 * 5 = 10.
Therefore, the base is 4.
You are correct!

Answer 5

Thanks!
