Answer:

2/3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is  A = (B x H)/2. Or, area is equal to base times height, all divided by two. In your case, we don't know the base. If we substitute in values, we get 2/5 = (B x 6/5)/2.

Next, we have to multiply both sides by two, to cancel the "/2." That results in 4/5 = B x 6/5. Then, to isolate the variable, we have to divide both sides by 6/5. 4/5 ÷ 6/5 is 4/5 x 5/6. The fives cancel out, and we are left with 4/6.

Finally, we simplify! 4/6 simplifies to 2/3.
