Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given than the area of the triangle ABC is 46cm².

Area of a triangle is

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height[/tex]

Base of the triangle is AB and height of the triangle is CD.

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\times AB\times CD[/tex]

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\times AB\times 8[/tex]

[tex]A=4\times AB[/tex]

The area of the triangle is 46cm².

[tex]46=4\times AB[/tex]

[tex]AB=\frac{46}{4}[/tex]

[tex]AB=11.5[/tex]

Therefore the length of side AB is 11.5 cm. Option 1 is correct.

We know that the area of a triangle is (1/2)(base)(height). Therefore, we can solve for the base with the information we have. We are given an area of 46 cm² and a height of 8 cm.

A=(1/2)bh

46=(1/2)(8)b

46=4b

b=46/4

b=11.5 cm
