We know that the area of any triangle ]is given by :
A = Where A = Area, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle
According to the given data, Area = 12 sq ft, height = 48 ft
so, substituting in the formula, we get:
12 =
==> 12 = b * 24
==>
==>
==> Therfore, the width of the bottom is 1/2 "
--------------------------------
================================
--------------------------------
Given area = 12 sq ft and the width of the bottom is 6 ft, to find the height of the triangle
Area = * b * h
Substituting for the values, we get:
12 = * 6 * h
==> 12 = 3 * h
==> = h
==> 4 = h
Hence, the height of the opening is 4 ft.
Thus, the solution..
