Answer:
Base = 26 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the formula for the area of a triangle as:
Area = (Base x Height) / 2
In our case, this formula converts into:
546 in^2 = Base x 42 in /2
multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of fractions:
1092 in^2 = Base x 42 in
divide both sides by "42 in" to isolate the Base completely
1092 in^2 / 42 in = Base
Therefore Base = 26 in
