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
