Question 585397
Area = (1/2)base*h
--------------------
What is the effect on the area of a triangle if the base is doubled and the height is cut in half? 
Area = (1/2)(2b)(h/2) = (1/2)bh
No change in Area
----------------------------
What happens to the area, if the base is doubled and the height remains the same?
Area = (1/2)(2b)h = 2[(1/2)bh]
The area is doubled.
