Go!!!

The area of a triangle is one-half the base times the height, so if the heights are the same, doubling the length of the base doubles the area.

Answer 2

hey buddy (^o^)
here,
let base of triangle be b and other be B
so, B = 2b (given)
difference in area of both triangle will be,
= 1/2x B x h - 1/2 x b x h
= 1/2 x 2b x h - 1/2 x b x h
= bh - 1/2 bh
= 1/2 x b x h
plz check the answer B-)
HOPE THIS HELPS ;-)
