find the base of a triangle whose height is 1.7 feet and whose area is 1.87ft2

A = (1/2) base * height

1.87 = .5*b*1.7
b = 1.87/0.85

Ok what have you posted every math questions just for quick answers? you need to try to research these yourself. And the people who are just giving you the answers are not helping you learn the process.

Dear JR.

I am not sure where you come of speaking to my son this way but please note that I am monitoring his use of this homework website. Just for your information, he is not receiving the answers to ALL the questions that he has posted. Ms. Sue has been very good to not just give him answers but guide him to other websites where he learns how to solve the problems himself. I would thank you not to respond to my son again unless you have something positive and uplifting to say to him. Thank you very much!

To find the base of a triangle given its height and area, you can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is:

Area = (base * height) / 2

First, rearrange the formula to solve for the base:

base = (2 * Area) / height

Now, substitute the given values into the formula:

base = (2 * 1.87 ft^2) / 1.7 ft

Simplifying the expression:

base = 3.74 ft^2 / 1.7 ft

Now, divide the two values:

base ≈ 2.20 ft

Therefore, the base of the triangle is approximately 2.20 feet.
