Answer:
The length of bottom side of the scaled copy is 12 u
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we have to know that to calculate the area of a triangle we use the following formula
a = area
b = base
h = height
a = b * h
In the triangle A the base and the height are equal to 3
b = h
Now that we know that b & h we can calculate the base of the scaled copy
72 u² = b * b
72 u² = (b)²
√(72 u²) = b
12 u = b
The length of bottom side of the scaled copy is 12 u
