Answer:

If the height is tripled and the area is 12 times larger, the base would be 8 times larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle = 1/2(base × height)

If the area is 1 foot and the height is 1 foot, that means the base is 2 feet, since 1 = 1/2(2 × 1)

Now, if the height is tripled and the area is 12 times larger, then the base would have to be 8 feet, since 12 = 1/2(8 × 3)
