The height of a triangle is twice the length of its base. The area of the triangle is 50m^2. Find the height and base to the nearest tenth of a meter

A = 1/2 b h

Given: The height of a triangle is twice the length of its base

so h = 2b

so

A = 1/2 (b) (2b)

A = b^2

area of the triangle is 50m^2

b^2 = 50

b = √50

b = 7.1

h = 2b = 50

answer

the height = 14.2 m

and

the base = 7.1 m
