The face of a tent is shaped like a triangle with an area of Fifteen feet squared. The area of the triangle is represented by the formula A equals one half b times h. The height of the tent is 4 feet. How wide is the base of the tent?
Step one: Set up equation A=1/2bh Step two: plug all known numbers in 15=1/2b(4) Step three: Simplify all sides of equation 15=2b Step four: Divide each side by 2 15/2=7.5 7.5=b
