Heres the sample response

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample Response: The height of the triangle will be twice the height of the rectangle. The area of a triangle is ½ bh and the area of a rectangle is bh. If the bases are the same, then the height of the triangle has to be double that of the rectangle in order to get the same area.

Answer from: johndiaz26

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

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.

Answer from: javontiye226

This means the height of the triangle is twice the height of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is given as product of length and width, A=l*w

Area of triangle is given as the product of the base length by half the height,

A= 1/2 *b*h

If the areas are the same then it means;

l*w = 1/2 *l*h where l is the base length

l*w = l*h/2 but the base measurement is the same thus

w= h/2

2 w = h

This means the height of the triangle is twice the height of the rectangle.
