The area of a triangle is, A=1/2 bh, b=base and h=Heights.

8. A triangle has an area of 48 square inches and a height of 6 inches. What is the measurement of its base?

16

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation you need to do the opposite to factor everything out. Since the 6 is being multiplied you need to divide it by 6 and whatever you do to one side you do to the other:

48=1/2b (6)

6:6=1

48:6=8

8=1/2b

Multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2. So what we want to do is multiply by 2:

8=1/2b

1/2*2=1

8*2=16

16=b meaning you base is 16

To check your answer you can put 16 in as b

48=1/2 (16) 6

48=1/2 (96)

Remember multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2:

48=48
