The area of a triangle is 36 4/5 units squared and the height of the triangle 9 1/5 what is the length of the triangles base

Height = 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = square units

                             = square units

Height of the triangle = units

                                    = units

Formula to calculate the area of a triangle is,

Area =

Height =

           =

           = 8 units

Therefore, height of the given triangle is 8 units.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
