triangular window 4feet tall. area 24. what is length of base?

cap

To find the length of the base of a triangular window, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle.

The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = (1/2) * base * height

Given that the window is 4 feet tall and the area is 24 square feet, we can substitute the values into the formula and solve for the base.

24 = (1/2) * base * 4

To isolate the base, we can divide both sides of the equation by (1/2) * 4:
24 / (1/2) * 4 = base

Simplifying further, we have:
24 * 2 / 4 = base

Now, we can calculate the base:
12 = base

So, the length of the base of the triangular window is 12 feet.

A = (1/2) * bh

24 = (1/2) * 4 * b

24 = 2b

12 = b
