If the triangle is increased to twice the base and the height the size will increase by 48 ft²

<h3>How to find the area of a triangle?</h3>

The area of a triangle can be described as follows;

area of a triangle = 1 / 2 bh

where

  • b = base
  • h = height

Therefore, the total area of the garden is 16 square feet.

Hence,

16 ft² = 1 / 2 bh

Hence, if the the triangle is increased to twice the base and the height the size will be as follows;

area = (1 / 2) × 2b × 2h

area = 4 × (1 / 2 bh)

area = 4 × 16

area = 64 ft²

Therefore,

difference in area = 64 ft² - 16 ft²

difference in area = 48 ft²

Therefore, if the the triangle is increased to twice the base and the height the size will  increase by 48 ft²

ratelena [41]

The Number of people is 12 when time taken is 2 hours.

According to the statement

Time taken when 10 people works is 3 hours

Time taken when 5 people works is 8 hours

Then we have to find the number of peoples when time taken is 2 hours.

So, average time that for which single person works is 180 min/ 10 = 18 min.

It means the average time for single person works is 18 min in case of 10 people.

and one thing is clear that the number of people is greater than 10 people when time taken is 2 hours.

So, The Number of people is 12 when time taken is 2 hours.
