Answer:

h= 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Square

Side = x

Triangle

Base = x

Altitude = h

Required

Find h, if both shapes have the same area

The area of the square is:

Area = x * x

Area = x^2

The area of the triangle is:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * Base*Height

Area = \frac{1}{2} * x*h

Equate both areas

x^2 = \frac{1}{2} * x*h

Divide both sides by x

x = \frac{1}{2} *h

Multiply both sides by 2

2*x = \frac{1}{2} *h*2

2x = h

h= 2x
