Question

The base of a triangle is twice the height of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \\ 16 {cm}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2x \times x \\ 16 {cm}^{2} = \frac{2 {x}^{2} }{2} \\ \\ 16 {cm}^{2} \times 2 = 2 {x}^{2} \\ 32 {cm}^{2} = 2 {x}^{2} \\ \frac{32 {cm}^{2} }{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 16 {cm}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ \sqrt{16 {cm}^{2} } = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } \\ 4cm = x$
