The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh, in which b represents the length of the base and h represents the height. If a triangle has an area of 328 mm^2 and the height is 16 mm, what is the measure of the base?

Answer:

b = 41 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Area of a triangle is given by

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

where

b is the length of the base

h is the height

From the question

Area = 328 mm²

height = 16 mm

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the height

We have

[tex]328 = \frac{1}{2} \times 16b \\ 328 = 8b[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8

We have the final answer as

b = 41 mm

Hope this helps you
