The base length is b mm.
The equation representing the problem is:
74 = 2b + 5
Solving for b:
74 - 5 = 2b
69 = 2b
b = 34.5
Therefore, the base of the triangle is 34.5 mm.
The height of a triangle is 5 more than double the base length. If the height of the triangle is 74 mm, what is the base length of the triangle?
If b represents the length of the base in mm, the equation that represents this problem is___
.
The base of the triangle is
