Example Question #173 : Properties Of Triangles

The base of a triangle is 12x , and the height of the triangle is . If the area of the triangle is 120 , what is the value of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the following formula to find the area of a triangle:

$\text{Area}=\frac{base\times height}{2}$

Now, substitute in 12x for the base, for the height, and 120 for the area..
