Question

The area of a triangular Block is 100 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height,how long are the base and the height of the triangle

Answer 1

Area = 1/2 base x height
Area = 1/2 (2 x height) x height
Area = height x height
Area = height^2
100 = height^2
height = SquareRoot(100)
Height = 10
Base = 2 x height = 2 x 10 = 20
