A triangle has an area of 6.5 square feet. Of this triangle is 2.5 feet what is the length of the base of the triangle?
To find the length of the base of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: Area = (1/2) * base * height.
Given that the area is 6.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the base:
6.5 = (1/2) * base * 2.5
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:
13 = base * 2.5
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2.5:
base = 13 / 2.5
Simplifying the division:
base = 5.2
Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 5.2 feet.
