Answer:
4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Area of the triangle = 1/4 square meters
From the diagram,
Height = 2/5 m
To find : Length of the base
Formula : -
A = bh/2
Here,
A denotes Area
b denotes Base
h denotes Height
A = 1/4
h = 2/5
A = bh/2
Cross multiply,
A * 2 = bh
2A = bh
2 * (1/4) = b * (2/5)
(1 * 2)/4 = (b * 2)/5
2/4 = 2b/5
1/2 = 2b/5
Cross multiply,
1 * 5 = 2 * 2b
5 = 4b
b = 4/5 meters
Hence,
The length of the base is 4/5 meters.
