Question

If the base of a triangle is twice its altitude and the is 2x,what is the area of the area of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The area of triangle is $4x^2$ square units

Solution:

Given that,

The altitude of triangle is 2x

Which means,

height = 2x

Base of a triangle is twice its altitude

$Base = 2 \times 2x = 4x$

What is the area of the triangle

$\text{ Area of triangle } = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \\\\\text{ Area of triangle } = \frac{1}{2} \times 4x \times 2x\\\\\text{ Area of triangle } = 4x^2$

Thus the area of triangle is $4x^2$ square units
