Side of square = b
Area of Square = (side)^2 = b^2
Base of triangle = b
Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × altitude = 1/2 × b × altitude
According To Question
Area of Square = Area of Triangle
b^2 = 1/2 × b × altitude
(b^2 × 2) / b = altitude
2b^2 / b = altitude
2b = altitude
Therefore altitude of the triangle is 2b
Area of Square = (side)^2 = b^2
Base of triangle = b
Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × altitude = 1/2 × b × altitude
According To Question
Area of Square = Area of Triangle
b^2 = 1/2 × b × altitude
(b^2 × 2) / b = altitude
2b^2 / b = altitude
2b = altitude
Therefore altitude of the triangle is 2b
