Question 1013591: The areas of parallelogram and a triangle are the same. They have the same base. What is the ratio of the height of the triangle to the height of the parallelogram? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area of parallelogram is A = bh.
Area of triangle is A = (1/2)bh.
If the areas are equal and the bases are equal, then the height of the triangle must be twice that of the parallelogram.
