his design is 10 square feet in area, and the triangle has a height of 5 feet what is the length of the base
Apologies for the oversight. Let's reevaluate the problem using the correct information.
Given that the area of the triangle is 10 square feet and the height is 5 feet:
Area = (base x height) / 2
10 = (base x 5) / 2
Multiplying both sides by 2:
20 = base x 5
Dividing both sides by 5:
base = 4
Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 4 feet.
To find the length of the base of the triangle, we need to use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (base x height) / 2
Given that the area of the triangle is 10 square feet and the height is 5 feet:
10 = (base x 5) / 2
Multiplying both sides by 2 and then dividing by 5, we get:
20 = base
Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 20 feet.
