Question 1077030: Area of a triangle is 12 2/5
Length is 3 7/8
What is the width? I have tried to work this out but cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I know the answer I just want to see how to figure it out Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Length is 3 7/8=3.875; I will call that b
Area is 12 2/5=12.4
A=(1/2)bh
24.8=bh
h=24.8/3.875=6.4
Fractional way:
24 4/5=3 7/8*H
124/5=31/8 H
(124/5)(8/31)=H
(4/5)(8)=32/5=6.4
