The area of a triangle is 15 square inches, The
triangle's height is 5 inches. What is the length of the
base? Hint: A=1/2bh

Using the given equation for the area of a triangle, we can plug in what we know: 15 = (1/2)(b)(5)

Next, multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the 1/2: 30 = 5b

Finally, divide both sides by 5 to get the length of the base: b = 6 inches

Hope this helps!! :)

6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle

= 1/2 x b x h

Given

Area = 15 square inches

Height h = 5 inches

Therefore

15 = 1/2 x b x 5

15 = 5b/2

Cross multiply

15 x 2 = 5b

30 = 5b

Divide both sides by 5

30/5 = 5b/5

6 = b

b = 6 inches

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
