A triangle with an area of 48 has a base that is 6 times as long as its height. Which of the following equations could be used to solve for the height, h?

h(h+6)=48

h(6h)=48

h(6h)/2=48

h(1/6h)=48

h(1/6h)/2=48

ghazi · Answer

area of triangle = (1/2)*base* height 
now your  question says base= 6* height 
so 48= 0.5*6*height*height

or h(6h)=96

or 1/2*h(6h)=48
