Question

The isosceles triangle and the square shown here have the same area in square units. What is the height of the triangle, $h$, in terms of the side length of the square, $s$?

Answer 1

h = 2s

Explanation:

Area of square is equal to the area of triangle in this question.

the area of the square is s²

the area of the triangle is
`(1)/(2)` *h*s

s²=
`(1)/(2)` *h*s

s =
`(1)/(2)` *h

2s = h

hope that helps
