Answer:
The answer is 6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is given by
[tex] A = \frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]
where b is the base
h is the height
From the question
A = 48 sq. in
h = 16 in.
Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the base
That's
[tex]48 = \frac{1}{2} 16b \\ 48 = 8b \\ \frac{8b}{8} = \frac{48}{8} [/tex]
We have the final answer as
6 in
Hope this helps you
