The area of the triangle below is 5/12 square feet. What is the length of the base? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer:
5/3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
a = (1/2)bh
5/12 = (1/2)(1/2)h
5/12 = 1/4h
Multiply bith sides by 4
20/12 = h
h = 20/12
Reduce
h = 5/3 ft
Answer:
base = 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
length= x
area triangle =
(bxh)/2
5/12 = x (1/2) divide by 2
Multiply both sides by 1/2 to isolate x
10/12 = 1/2 x
Multiply by 2
20/12 = x
5/3 = x
