Answer:

Let's say that the base of triangle a is 2 and the height is 3. That makes the base and height of triangle b 4 and 6. To find the area of a triangle, use the formula 1/2 multiplied by height multiplied by base. So the area of triangle a is 2 multiplied by 3 multiplied by 1/2 giving us 3. The area of triangle b is 1/2 multiplied by 4 multiplied by 6 giving us 12. Since 12 divided by 3 is 4, the area of triangle b is 4 times greater than the area of triangle a.
