The length of the base of a triangle is three times the
height. The area of the triangle is 24 square inches.
Find the length of the base of the triangle. (Area=1/2bh)

Answer Posted / kaneez-e-zainab

Area of triangle = 1/2 bh
b=3 times of height, i.e., 3h
h=?
b=3h
A= 24
A=1/2bh
24=1/2*3h*h
48=1*3h2 (when bases are same power should be added)
(poweris 2)
48=3h to the power of 2
h2=16
h=4
b=3*h=3*4=12
b=12
prof
A=1/2bh
A=1/212*4
A=6*4
A=24
