Question

The area of a triangular block is 64 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and height of the triangle?

Answer 1

If the base of the triangle is twice the height, then the base would be 42 2/3 and the height would be 21 1/3. You have to divide 64 by 3 to get the height and 64/1.5 to get the base length.
