The area of the triangle below is 12/25 square inches. What is the length of the base? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
Let the base of the triangle be \(b\) and the height of the triangle be \(h\).
The area of a triangle is given by the formula \(A = \frac{1}{2}bh\), where \(b\) is the length of the base and \(h\) is the height of the triangle.
Given that the area of the triangle is \(\frac{12}{25}\) square inches, we have:
\[\frac{1}{2}bh = \frac{12}{25}\]
Solving for \(b\), we get:
\[b = \frac{2\cdot \frac{12}{25}}{h} = \frac{24}{25h}\]
Since we do not have information about the height of the triangle, we cannot determine the length of the base solely from the given information.
