Sagot :

Given the following triangle:

Area = 28.5 square in

Height = 7.5 in

We know the area is 28.5 so to find the base we need to ensure that it equals 28.5 after calculating the area.

[tex]\frac{a\times h}{2}=\frac{7.5\times7.6}{2}=7.5\times7.6=57\div2=28.5[/tex]

So the base would be 7.6 inches
