Problema Solution
the area of a triangle yield sign is 400 square centimeters. the height 20 centimeters. what is the measure of the base?
Answer provided by our tutors
area of a triangle = 1/2(b*h)
area = 400
height = 20
so you have:
400 = 1/2(20b) solve for b
800 = 20b
40 = b
therefore the base is 40 cm
