<PRE><B>Question 944840</B>
b=base and b=height
Area=1/2(b)(b)
36 sq m=1/2 (b)(b) Multiply each side by 2
72 sq m=b*b Find square root of each side
{{{sqrt(72 sq m)=b}}}
{{{6*sqrt(2) m=b}}}
ANSWER The base and height of the triangle = {{{6*sqrt(2) m}}}
CHECK
area=1/2*base*height
{{{36 sq m=1/2*6*sqrt(2)*6*sqrt(2)}}}
36 sq m=1/2(6m*6m*2)
36 sq m=1/2(72 sq m)
36 sq m=36 sq m
