Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, lets get started.
Please refer the diagram I have attached.
Suppose the base of right triangle sail is b
Suppose the height of right triangle sail is h
It is given that, it is three times higher as it is wide.
[tex]h=3b[/tex]
Area of right triangle is A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}*b*h[/tex]
[tex]6=\frac{1}{2}*b*h[/tex]
Plugging the value of h in terms of b
[tex]6=\frac{1}{2}*b*(3b)[/tex]
[tex]b^2=4[/tex]
[tex]b=2[/tex]
Hence height h = [tex]3*2 = 6[/tex]
Hecne the height of sail is 6 meters. : Answer
Hope it will help :)
