Question

The area of a triangular shaped field is 24 square meter and it has a height of 6 m. Find the base length of the field.

• A. 24 m
• B. 4 m
• C. 6 m
• D. 8 m

Answer 1

The correct option is D

8 m

Area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height$

Given, area = 24 $m^2$

height = 6 m

$\Rightarrow$ 24 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x Base x 6

$\Rightarrow$ Base = $\frac{24\times 2}{6}$ = 8 m
