Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is base*height/2. so, if the area is 14 mm^2, we have to figure out how much the area would be without dividing by 2. the opposite of division is multiplication, so 14*2=28. now that we know how much the area would be if we didnt divide by 2, we have to figure out the base. the equation is:4x=28. we divide 4 on each side and we get x=7.
