The area of a triangle is 14 square inches, and the triangle's height is 7 inches. Use the formula A = bh, where A is area, b is base, and h is height, to find the length of the base of the triangle.
•49 inches
•1 inch
•2 inches
•4 inches

length of base is2 inches:

Solution given:

According to the questionArea of triangle=14 square inches

bh=14

7*b=14

b=14/7

b=2

length of base is2 inches:

if

A=½bh

then

Area of triangle=14 square inches

½bh=14

½*7*b=14

b=14*2/7

b=4 inches

the length of the base of the triangle is 4inches.

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
