    Formula for the area of a triangle = 1/2 (b*h)

    area = 33.6

    33.6*1/2 = 16.8

    So the length of the base is 16.8 inches

    A = 1/2 bh

    where: A = area

    b = length of the base

    h = height of the triangle

    Using the given,

    33.6 = 1/2 (b) (4) substitute the given values

    33.6 = 2b simplify the right side; 1/2 (4) = 2

    16.8 = b divide both side by 2

    Therefore, the length of the base is 16.8 inches.
