Can you find the base and height measurements for a triangle if you know that the area is 22 square units? Explain why or why not

no because the information is not enough
all you know is that h*b/2= 22 which leads to h*b=44 , where h= hight and b= base

No because you would need one other measurement in order to find the base or height. There are tons of combinations that can be formed to make 22 as the area
