Question

ASAP!! A triangle has an area of 72 square feet, and a base measuring 6 feet. If a square was drawn with a side measuring the same as the height of the triangle, what would be the perimeter of that square?

Answer 1

Perimeter of square = 96 ft

Explanation:

Area of triangle = 72 ft²

Base of triangle = 6 ft

We know that the formula for Area of triangle is given as:

Area = (1/2) · Base · Height

Substitute the values:

72 = (1/2) · 6 · Height

72 = 3 · Height

Height = 72/3

Height = 24 ft

As the Height of triangle is equals to Side of square:

Side of square = 24 ft

Perimeter of square = 4 · (side of square)

Perimeter of square = 4 · (24)

Perimeter of square = 96 ft
