Answer:

<h2>base = 7.1 m and height = 14.2 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formual fo ana area of a triangle:

$A=\dfrac{bh}{2}$

b - base

h - height

We have A = 50 cm² and h = 2b. Substitute:

$\dfrac{(b)(2b)}{2}=50\\\\b^2=50\to b=\sqrt{50}\ m\to b\approx7.1\ m\\\\h=2b\to h=2(7.1)=14.2\ m$
