Area triangle = 1/2 base x height Area square = length x width = 10in x 10in = 100sq in. Area triangle = area square Therefore: 1/2 x 10in x height = 100sq in height = 100 sq in x 2 / 10 in = 20 in
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
30 square inches. Area of triangle = (base x height) divided by 2.
The rectangle has an area of 12 x 8 = 96 square inches. The triangle has an area of (1/2 * 32 * x). So, 16x = 96, therefore x = 6. The height of the triangle is 6 inches.
area of a triangle = .5 * base * height In this case .5 * 9 * 14 = 63 square inches
18 square inches is probably the area of the triangle, not the length of the base. The length of the base would be measured in inches (a unit of length), not square inches (a unit of area). So area = 1 / 2 * base * height = 18 square inches (given) height = 4 * base (given) 1 / 2 * base * 4 * base = 18 square inches 2 * base * base = 18 square inches base * base = 9 square inches base = 3 inches height = 4 * base = 4 * 3 inches = 12 inches Checking our work: height is 4 times the base (12 = 4 * 3) area is 18 (1/2 * 12 * 3).
-- Measure the length of the base, in inches. -- Measure the height of the triangle, in inches. -- Multiply the two numbers and take 1/2 of the product. 1/2 of the product is the area of the triangle, in square inches.
The first is clearly not a suitable triangle.
18 square inches
Area triangle = 1/2 base x height Area square = length x width = 10in x 10in = 100sq in. Area triangle = area square Therefore: 1/2 x 10in x height = 100sq in height = 100 sq in x 2 / 10 in = 20 in
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
30 inches because 0.5*30*8 = 120 square inches
If "length" means "length of side to which the height of 14 inches is perpendicular", area = (1/2)(14)(16) = 112 square inches. (These dimensionss of a triangle are more commonly called "base" and "altitude" respectively.)
What is 12 in ? And what is 16 in ? ? Are they the lengths of two sides of the triangle ? Are they the length of one side and the height of the triangle ? The area of any triangle is 1/2 of the product of (length of its base) x (its height).
35 square inches
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
The area of the triangle in square meters is (1/2 the length of the triangle's base, in meters) times (the length of the triangle's height, in meters).
