    Answer: The length of the base of the triangle is 16 inches.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula

    Area of a triangle (A) = base x height x 1/2

    Replacing with the values given:

    42 = b (5 1/4) 1/2

    Solving for b (lenght of the base)

    42 / (5 1/4) 1/2 = b

    16 in = b

    The length of the base of the triangle is 16 inches.
