b=base and b=height
\n" ); document.write( "Area=1/2(b)(b)
\n" ); document.write( "36 sq m=1/2 (b)(b) Multiply each side by 2
\n" ); document.write( "72 sq m=b*b Find square root of each side
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%2872+sq+m%29=b\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2Asqrt%282%29+m=b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER The base and height of the triangle = $\"6%2Asqrt%282%29+m\"$
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "area=1/2*base*height
\n" ); document.write( " $\"36+sq+m=1%2F2%2A6%2Asqrt%282%29%2A6%2Asqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "36 sq m=1/2(6m*6m*2)
\n" ); document.write( "36 sq m=1/2(72 sq m)
