Question

The area of a triangle is 32 cm Square if the height is 4 cm find the length of the base

Answer 1

To find the length of the base of the triangle, you can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Given that the area is 32 cm² and the height is 4 cm, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the base:

\[
32 = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times 4
\]

Now, simplify the equation:

\[
32 = 2 \times \text{base}
\]

Next, divide both sides by 2 to isolate the base:

\[
\text{base} = \frac{32}{2} = 16 \text{ cm}
\]

So, the length of the base is **16 cm**.
