Answer:
[tex]\frac{(2)A}{h} =b[/tex]
b=0.00906m
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! To solve this exercise we must remember that the area of any triangle is given by the following equation
[tex]A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex]
where
A=area=32.5m^2
h=altitude=7172m
b=base
Now what we should do take the equation for the area of a rectangle and leave the base alone, remember that what we do on one side of the equation we must do on the other side to preserve equality
[tex]A=\frac{bh}{2} \\\frac{2}{h} A=\frac{bh}{2} \frac{2}{h} \\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{A(2)}{h} =b[/tex]
solving
[tex]\frac{2(32.5)}{7172} =0.0090[tex]\frac{A(2)}{h} =b\\b=0.00906m[/tex]
