Edward · Answer 1

if the area of the rectangle is the same then the height of the triangle would be double that of the rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the formula for working out the area of a triangle is base multiplied by height divided by 2 and so will need to be double to overcome the dividing factor.
