the height of a triangle is twice the length of its base. the area of the triangle is 50 meters. find the height and base to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Area = 1/2 B*H

Givens

Area = 50 m^2

B = 2x

H = x

Solution

50 = 1/2 * 2x*x         Cancel the 1/2 with the 2

50 = x^2                   Switch and take the square root.

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(50)

x = 7.071

Base = 7.071                  which rounds to 7.1

height = 14.142               which rounds to 14.1  

KN= 15 units

NM= 20 units
