If a triangle has a height of 24cm and an area of 240cm2, what is the length of its base?
240 = (1/2)*b*24 = 12 b
b = 20 cm is the base length
Draw a triangle that has an area of 24cm and its leanth is 3cm
To find the length of the base of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle. The formula is:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Given that the height of the triangle is 24 cm and the area is 240 cm^2, we can substitute these values into the formula:
240 cm^2 = 1/2 * base * 24 cm
To solve for the base, we can isolate it by rearranging the formula:
base = (2 * Area) / height
Substituting the given values:
base = (2 * 240 cm^2) / 24 cm
Simplifying the expression:
base = 480 cm^2 / 24 cm
base = 20 cm
Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 20 cm.
