You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You start with thr formula for the area of a triangle:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29b%2Ah\" Then you solve this for b, the base:
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+2A%2Fh\" and finally, you substitute the give values of A (120) and h (15).
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+2%28120%29%2F15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+16\"inches.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
