Question

A rectangle and a triangle have the same area and the

Answer 1

Answer:

This means the height of the triangle is twice the height of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is given as product of length and width, A=l*w

Area of triangle is given as the product of the base length by half the height,

A= 1/2 *b*h

If the areas are the same then it means;

l*w = 1/2 *l*h  where l is the base length

l*w = l*h/2 ------but the base measurement is the same thus

w= h/2

2 w = h

This means the height of the triangle is twice the height of the rectangle.

Answer 2

Answer:

The height of the triangle will be twice the height of the rectangle. The area of a triangle is ½ bh and the area of a rectangle is bh. If the bases are the same, then the height of the triangle has to be double that of the rectangle in order to get the same area.
