32 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle is given by A=bh/2 where A is area, b is base and h is heightand here the h is given as 5 1/8 then the area is also given hence making b the subject of the above formula then b = 2A/h

Substituting A with 82 and h with 5 1/8 then

b=2*82 / (5 1/8) = 32
