Question

A triangle has an area of 25 square yards and a height of 10 yards. What is the length of the base?

*Remember the area formula for triangles is:
A = ½ (b × h)
*
3 points
250 yards
5 yards
35 yards
10 yards

Answer 1

5 yards

Using the formula for the area of a triangle, A = ½ (b × h), we can substitute the given values to solve for the base (b).

25 = ½ (b × 10)
25 = 5b
b = 25 / 5
b = 5

Therefore, the length of the base is 5 yards.
