What is the value of b in the triangle shown below?

So the area of a triangle is the following:

A =( B x H) / 2
Let's plug in what we've been told in the question

24 = (3B x B) / 2
48 = 3B x B
48 = 3B^2
16 = B^2
+ or - 4 = B

I would go with option C because if you plug in 4 in or -4 for B into the area of a triangle equation, you end up with + 24 in^2.

Thank you...I understand now

It was wrong - it was B..thanks anyhow

Now you've got me stumped. I don't understand why it would be option B :/

Don't listen to Lena, this is the third que/answer she's gotten wrong lol

@Lena It is B because you can't have -4 inches on a triangle.

1 = c

2 = d
3 = b
4 = c
5 = b

ghost is wrong the answers are b c for the last to

1.C

2.D
3.B
4.B
5.C
