Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

C

Answer 4

yeah you're right it's c.i didn't divide it by 2
