The height of a triangle is 5 more than double the base length. if the height of the triangle is 74 mm, what is the base length of the triangle? if b represents the length of the base in mm, the equation that represents this problem is . the base of the triangle is mm.

Equation that represents this problem is

The base of the triangle is 34.5  mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represents the base length of the triangle in mm.

Given : The height of a triangle is 5 more than double the base length.

i.e. Height = 2b+5

If the height of the triangle is 74 mm, then the equation that represents this problem is

To find b , first subtract 5 from both sides of the equation, we get

  [Divide both sides by 2]

Hence, the base of the triangle is 34.5 mm.
