The length of the base of a triangle is twice its height. if the area of the triangle is 44 square​ kilometers, find the height

Respuesta :

Let
[tex] x[/tex]
be the height of the triangle.

Formular for area of Triangle
= ½ × base × height






thus,
[tex] { \frac{1}{2} }(2x)(x)=44\ kilometers^2 [/tex]

Simplifying
[tex] x^2=44\ kilometers^2 \\\\ x= \sqrt{ 44 } \\\\ x=6.63\ kilometers[/tex]
