1 answer

To find the length of the altitude \( x \) given these values, it's not entirely clear what geometric figure or context we are dealing with. However, I assume you might refer to a triangle or a related shape for which you want to calculate the altitude.

Example Triangle Context

If we consider a triangle where:

  • The base = 14 (let's assume this is the base of the triangle)
  • The area = 28 (let's assume this is the area of the triangle)

The formula for the area of a triangle is given by:

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

Substituting the known values into the formula:

\[ 28 = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times x \]

Now we can solve for \( x \):

\[ 28 = 7x \]

Dividing both sides by 7:

\[ x = \frac{28}{7} = 4 \]

Conclusion

If the context given is a triangle with the base of 14 and an area of 28, then the altitude \( x \) would be 4. If this doesn't align with your question or conditions, please provide additional context so I can assist you better!
