The area of a triangular piece of stained glass is 50 square centimeters. If the height (h) of the triangle is four times the base (b) how long are the height and base of the piece of stained glass?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Height = 20 ; Base = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Area = Base x Height x 1/2

50 = 1x × 4x × 1/2

50 = 4x^2 × 1/2

50 = 2x^2

25 = x^2

x=5

Height equals to 4x -> 4 × 5 = 20

Base equals to x -> 1 × 5 = 5
