Problema Solution
The area of a right triangle is 49 square meters. the height is twice as long as the base.
To find the area of a triangle,use the following formula: a=1/2bh
where b is the base and h is the height
Answer provided by our tutors
the height is twice as long as the base:
h = 2b
The area of a right triangle is 49 square meters:
(1/2)bh = 49
plug h = 2b into the last equation:
(1/2)b(2b) = 49
by solving we find:
b = 7 m
click here to see the step by step solution of the equation:
b = (1/2)h
b = 7/2
b = 3.5 m
the base is 3.5 meters while the height is 7 meters.
