Question

The area of a triangular block is 36 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long is the base of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer: height as h and base as 2h.

A = ½(b)(h). Substituting known facts gives 36 =½(2h)(h), which means that 36 = h2

and therefore h = 6 inches, height = 12 in.
