You can put this solution on YOUR website! The base of the triangle is 4 times its height. If the area of the triangle is 162 square yards find the base
.
Let h = height
then
4h = base
.
(1/2)base*height = area
(1/2)(4h)h = 162
(2h)h = 162
2h^2 = 162
h^2 = 81
h = 9 yards (height)
.
base:
4h = 4(9) = 36 yards
