Question

If the area of a square with side 'b'is
equal to the area of a triangle with base
'b', then the altitude of the triangle is​

Answer 1

Answer:

2b

Step-by-step explanation:

b2=1/2*b*a

:b=h/2

h=2b

Answer 2

Area of square = ( side )^2
Are of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

But here given that side of square is ‘ b’ and base of triangle too is ‘b’.
So put are of square equal to area of triangle.
Let altitude be ‘a’.
1/2 x b x a= (b)^2
a= (b)^2 x 2/1x1/ b
a= b x 2
a= 2b


Hence , the length of the altitude is twice of that of base.
=> a= 2b


It may explain you the solution.
