Question 689286
The formula for the area of a triangle would be useful here
A = {{{1/2}}}bh
:
The length of the base of a triangle three times the height.
the equation for this statement:
b = 3h
:
 The area of the triangle is 54 squared. Assume you mean 54 sq/units here
{{{1/2}}}*b*h = 54
multiply both sides by 2, get rid of the fraction
b*h = 108
Replace b with 3h
3h*h = 108
3h^2 = 108
Divide both sides by 3
h^2 = 36
find the square root of both sides
h = {{{sqrt(36)}}}
h = 6 units is the height
then
b = 3h
3(6) = 18 units is base

;
Check this
{{{1/2}}}*18*6 = 54



 Find the base and height of the triangle.
Base = 18, height = 6; (not sure about the factoring requirement)
