I tried drawing many triangles using graph paper and a ruler, unfortunately this didn't work. I tried looking it up online, but this did not help. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Melissa was finding the area of a triangle when she wrote:

-------------
If it's (1/2)*3*(4 1/2)
An infinite # of triangles are possible with that area and 2 sides.
base = 4 1/2
height = 3
Make it a right triangle, that's easy.
