A glass candleholder in the shape of a triangular pyramid has a volume of 2,010 mm³. The base of the holder has a height of 13.4 mm and a base of 30 mm. What is the area of the base?

Answer 1

To find the area of the triangular base of the candleholder, we first need to find the area of the triangle.

The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = (base * height) / 2

In this case, the base of the triangle is 30 mm and the height is 13.4 mm. Substituting these values into the formula gives us:

Area = (30 * 13.4) / 2
Area = 402 / 2
Area = 201 mm²

Therefore, the area of the base of the triangular pyramid candleholder is 201 mm².
