Answer:

The length of the base is 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  area of 16 square feet. The height is 8 feet.

Asked: what is the length of the base?

Formula: A = b x h

                      2

Solution:

A = b x h

        2

16 square feet = b (8ft)

                           2

16 square feet = 8b ft   (cross multiply)

                           2

8b ft(1) = 2(16 square feet )

8b ft = 32 square feet

8b ft = 32 square feet

 8 ft           8ft

b= 4 ft

So, the length of the base is 4ft.
