Best Answer

Area for a triangle is A=1/2b x h (A=area, b=base, h=height)

30=1/2bx5

30/5=1/2b

6=1/2 b

b=6 / 1/2

b=12

Above shows the answer someone else put but i think the answer is:

6 inches because 30 divided by 5 = 6.

To make sure you are correct; 5 x 6 = 30.

I am not 100% sure but as far as i know.. this could be the answer.

Hope that helps x
