Question

if the area of a square with side a is equal to the area of a triangle with base a, then the altitude of the triangle is

Answer 1

a ² = 1/2 *base * height
a² = a/2*h
by solving further
h = altitude = 2a

Answer 2

Area of square = a ^ 2 = area of triangle
1 / 2 x base x altitude = a ^ 2
1 / 2 x a x altitude = a x a
altitude = a x a x 2 / a
Altitude = 2 a
