Answer:

Base: 16 cm

Height: 48 cm

Explanation:

Let's call the length of the base b, and the length of the height h. Since the formula for the area of a triangle is bh/2, you can set up the following equations:


h=3b\\(bh)/(2)=384\\ (b(3b))/(2)=384\\(3b^2)/(2)=384\\3b^2=768\\b^2=256\\b=16\\h=16\cdot 3=48

Hope this helps!
