Shirley is drawing triangles that have the same area. The base of each triangle varies inversely with the height. What are the possible base and height of a second triangle if the first triangle's base is 14 and its height is 6?

Respuesta :

The possible base and height of a second triangle are 12 and 7, respectively

How to determine the possible base and height of a second triangle?

An inverse variation is represented as:

Base * Height = k

Where k is the constant of variation.

In this case, k is the area

So, we have:

Base * Height  = Area

For the first triangle, we have:

14 * 6 = Area

Evaluate

Area = 84

Substitute Area = 84 in Base * Height  = Area

Base * Height  = 84

Express 84 as the product of two numbers

Base * Height  = 12 * 7

By comparison;

Base =12 and Height = 7

Hence, the possible base and height of a second triangle are 12 and 7, respectively
