Question

A rectangle and a triangle have the same area. if their bases are the same lengths,how do their heights compare? justify your answer.

Answer 1

The height of the triangle will be twice the height of the rectangle. The area of a triangle is ½ bh and the area of a rectangle is bh. If the bases are the same, then the height of the triangle has to be double that of the rectangle in order to get the same area.

Explanation:

that is the sample answer

Answer 2

 The triangles height would be half because the formula is 1/2 h*b and a rectangle is l*w (i think is the same as b*h but don't take my word for it)
