The area of a triangle is 16 units square. The length is twice the height. Find the height

The formula for area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height.

Let the height = x

Then the base (length) = 2x ( twice the height)

You know have 16 = 1/2 * 2x * x

Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the 1/2:

32 = 2x * x

Simplify the right side:

32 = 2x^2

Divide both sides by 2:

16 = x^2

Take the square root of both sides:

X = 4

The height is 4 units and the length is 8 Units

What are the areas of each smaller rectangle and the large rectangle?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Area of part 1: 3 * 5\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

Area of part 2: 3\sqrt{2} * 5\sqrt{2}=30

Area of entire rectangle: 30 + 15\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found by using formula : length * width.

The area of part 1 can be simplified to this:

3 * 5\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

Area of part 2:

3\sqrt{2} * 5\sqrt{2}=30

The area of the entire rectangle can simply be added from part 1 and part 2.

For area 2, remember multiplying the square root of 2 twice nullifies the square root. So it becomes 15 * 2, which is equal to 30.
