Question 478876: a triangle has a base b and an altitude a. A second triangle has a base twice the altitude of the first triangle, and an altitude twice the base of the first triangle. what is the area of the second triangle? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
a triangle has a base b and an altitude a.
A second triangle has a base twice the altitude of the first triangle (2a)
and an altitude twice the base of the first triangle(2b)
A(2nd triangle) = (1/2)(2a)(2b) = 2ab
