Answer:

5/2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area of triangle = 25/12 cm

Height of triangle = 5/3 cm

Let,

Length of the base = b

Recall :

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Substitute the values above into the equation :

25 /12 = 1/2 * b * 5/3

25 /12 = 5b/ 6

Using cross multiplication

25 * 6 = 12 * 5b

150 = 60b

Divide both sides by 60 to isolate b

150/60 = 60b / 60

b = 5/2 cm
