The area of a triangular block is 64 sq in. if the base of the triangle is twice the height, how long are the base and the height of the triangle

The area of a triangular block is given the formula:

Area = bh/2

Let h = height

Let b = base = 2h

Area = bh/2

64 = (2h) (h) / 2

64 = 2h^2/2

64 = h^2

h = 8

So the the length of the base is

2h = 16

And the length of the height is

h = 8

So, height is equal to 8 in and the base is equal to 16.
