A triangular bandana has an area of 30 square inches. The height of the triangle is 7 1/2 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the length of the base of the triangle.



Answer :

Answer: Length = 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Area = 1/2 x base x height

Given that the area is 30 square inches and the height is 7.5 inches, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the base:

30 = 1/2 x base x 7.5

2 x 30 = base x 7.5

60 = base x 7.5

base = 60/7.5

base = 8

So, the length of the base of the triangle is 8 inches.
