A triangular pane of glass has a height of 34 inches and an area of 408 square inches. What is the length of the base of the pane?

Respuesta :

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find area of triangles, you can use the following formula:

[tex]A = (b*h)/2[/tex], where b is your base and h is your height.

You have the area and the height, so you can solve for the base:

[tex]408 = 34b/2[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2:

[tex]816 = 34b[/tex]

Then, divide both sides by 34 to get your base.
