Question 1115834: the base of a triangle is three times the height. if the area of the triangle is 54 cm^2, find the base and the height of the triangle. Answer by ikleyn(52794) (Show Source):
You are given B = 3*H. ("the base of a triangle is three times the height")
You also know that the area of a triangle is .
It gives you an equation
= 54 ====>
= 54*2 ====>
= = 36 ====> H = = 6.
From this point, can you complete the solution on your own ?
