24 inches is the answer

Thx bruh @ankitshaw

OpenStudy (ankitshaw):

welcome

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Area of any triangle is \[A=\frac{1}{2}bh\]where b is length of base and h is height. We know A and h, so we can solve that eq for b and plug in our known values.\[2A=bh\]\[b=\frac{2A}h=\frac{2*372\text{ in}^2}{31\text{ in}}= 24\text{ in}\]
