The area of a triangular block is 81 square inches. If the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and the height of the triangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

18 inches and 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, The base of a triangle is twice of the height.

Area = 81 sq inches

Let, Base (b) = 2x

Height (h) = x

Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}bh

\frac{1}{2}bh = 81

or, x^{2} = 8

Base = 2×9 inches = 18 inches

Height = 9 inches
