Question

THE AREA OF A TRIANGLE IS 27 SQUARE FEET. ITS HEIGHT IS THREE TIMES THE LENGTH OF ITS BASE. FIND THE HEIGHT AND BASE OF THE TRIANGLE.

Answer 1

hight-9
base-3

Its Base x height

Answer 2

no @nathan917 area of a triangle is base time height divide 3

ATTENTION !!!


so you know that area = 27 ft^2

the height is 3 time the length of base so note h=3b

than you can rewriting area = b*3b/3 =b*b=b^2 so this mean that 27 = b^2 than
b = sqrt 27 = 3sqrt3

b=3sqrt3

h= 3b = 3*3sqrt3 = 9sqrt3

h=9sqrt3
