Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as \frac{bh}{2}.

Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value 2b in as h in the expression, making it \frac{b\cdot2b}{2}. If the area is 16, we can make the equation

\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16

Now to solve for b.

\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4

Hope this helped!
