Question 956458: Algebra Find the missing measurement for each triangle.
A = 36 mi 2 , b = (blank) , h = 12 mi
A = (blank) , b = 12 mm, h = 7.5 mm

I'll do the first one to get you started

A = (b*h)/2
36 = (b*12)/2
36*2 = 12b
72 = 12b
12b = 72
b = 72/12
b = 6

So b = 6 is the answer to the first question.
