If the area of a right triangle is 9/16 sq.ft. and the height is 3/4 ft., write an equation that relates the area to the base, b, and the height. Solve the equation to determine the base.

Respuesta :

B=1/2

9/16=1/2b(3/4)

Divide both sides by 3/4

1/4=1\2b

Multiply both sides by 2
tramserran
Area (A) = base (b) · height (h)
     9/16   =     b        ·   (3/4)
Multiply both sides by 4/3 to isolate b
(4/3)(9/16) = b
      3/4      = b

Answer: base of the triangle is 3/4 ft
