The height of a triangle is 8 times it’s base. The area of the triangle is 784 square centimeters. Find the base and height of the triangle

b = 14 cm , h = 112 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Given height is 8 times base , then h = 8b and A = 784 , then

× b × 8b = 784

b × 4b = 784

4b² = 784 ( divide both sides by 4 )

b² = 196 ( take square root of both sides )

b = = 14

Then base b = 14 cm and height h = 8 × 14 = 112 cm

282 6/7 cm^2
