Question

Please help!! shirley is drawing triangle that have the same area

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{12 \: \mathrm{and} \: 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the area of first triangle.

$\frac{bh}{2}$

$b=base\\h=height$

$\frac{14 \times 6}{2}$

$\frac{84}{2} =42$

The area of second triangle is same as the first triangle.

The area of second triangle is 42 units².

The base varies inversely with the height.

$b \propto \frac{1}{h}$

As the value of b increases, the value of h decreases.

$\frac{12 \times 7}{2}=42$

The answer is b = 12 and h = 7.

Answer 2

Answer:

12 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the first  triangle is

A = 1/2 bh

A = 1/2 ( 14*6)

A = 42

The area of the second triangle must equal 42

Varying inversely means as the height increases, the base must decrease at the same rate

Lets try 12 and 7

A = 1/2 (12*7)

A = 42

The height of the new triangle increased and the base decreased
