If the base of a triangle is four times its height and the area of the triangle is 242 square millimeters, can you find its base and height?

Asked by Matti

Answer (3)

The base and height of the triangle are 44 mm and 11 mm, respectively. This was determined by applying the formula for the area of a triangle, which is 1/2 base height. ;

The height of the triangle is 11 mm, and the base is 44 mm, calculated using the area formula and the relationship between the base and height. We defined height as h and base as 4 h to simplify the process. Using the area of 242 square mm, we arrived at these dimensions through algebraic manipulation.
