Davin Bryan · Answer 1

A=1/2bh

dа ta:

a=192 mm²

h=12 mm

therefore:

192 mm²=1/2 (b) (12 mm)

192 mm²=6b mm

b=192 mm²/6 mm

b=32 mm

Answer: the measure of the base is 32 mm

Gilbert Walton · Answer 2

Equation = 192mm^2 = 1/2*b*12 mm

It's algebra so get the 'b' by itself.

b = 192mm^2 divided by 6 (since half of twelve is six)

then answer 32.
