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

A right triangle has a base of 11 yards and a height of 7 yards . If you were to construct a similar but not congruent right tri
Dimas [21]

Answer:

bae of 44 yds and a height of 28 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

11x7 = 88 yd^2 = area of small triangle

616/88 = 16 so the larger triangle area is 16 times larger than the smaller triangle.

The area of a triangle is not proportional to it's dimensions. An increase of 16 times the area only increases the dimensions by 4 times.

larger triangle dimensions are 11 x 4 = 44 and 7 x 4 = 28
