A triangular section of a design must have an area of 1.84m square. If the height has to be 1.6m, what’s the base length?
To find the base length of the triangular section, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Given that the area is 1.84 square meters and the height is 1.6 meters, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the base length.
1.84 = (1/2) * base * 1.6
To isolate the base, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
1.84 * 2 = base * 1.6
3.68 = base * 1.6
To solve for the base, we can divide both sides of the equation by 1.6:
3.68 / 1.6 = base
Therefore, the base length of the triangular section is 2.3 meters.
A = 1/2bh
1.84 = 1/2b(1.6)
Solve for b.
