Area of a square with side x is equal to the area of a triangle with base x. The altitude of the triangle is?
Correct Answer: 2x
Explanation:
Let h be the altitude of triangle.
So area of triangle = (1/2)xh
area of square = x2 From question area of square = area of triangle
x2 = (1/2)xh
∴ h = (2x2)/x = 2x
