You can put this solution on YOUR website! the area of a triangle is 20 square centimeters. what are the possible whole-number dimensions for the base and height of the triangle?
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
20 = 1/2 *base * height
40 = base * height
factors of 40 are 2*2*2*5
The possible base and height are 2*2*2 & 5 8 and 5
2*5 & 2*2 10 and 4
