Area of a triangle = base x height / 2
64 = base x height / 2
(multiply 2 on both sides)
128 = base x height
then if base= 16 and height = 8 then 16 x 8 = 128
thus the base is 16 which is twice the height:8
ANSWER:
a = 11
b = 2
Explaination:
We have two equations:
a = 5b + 1 .....................(1)
a = 3b + 5.....................(2)
Here we use substitution method in order to solve the set of equations.
put a=3b+1 to equation (1)
3b + 5 = 5b + 1
Solve for b
5 = 5b -3b + 1
5-1 =2b
4 = 2b
b = 2
Now put the value of b = 2 into the equation (1) or (2)
a = 5b + 1
a = 5(2) + 1
a = 10 + 1
a = 11
