To find the length of the base, we can rearrange the formula for the area of a triangle:
A = 1/2(b * h)
25 = 1/2(b * 10)
25 = 5b
b = 5
Therefore, the base of the triangle is 5 yards long.
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)
