A triangle has the same area and base as a rectangle. If the rectangle height is 6 cm,then what is the triangle height?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = triangle height
\n" ); document.write( "Triangle area = rectangle area
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ b*x = 6b
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( "bx = 12b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by b
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12 cm is the triangle height \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
