1. If the area of a triangle with base “x” is equal to the area of a square with side “x”, then the altitude of the triangle is
a. 𝑥²

b. x
c. 2x
d. 3x

EXPLANATION

It is given that

base of triangle = x

and side of square = x

now area of triangle = 1/2 * b * h

and area of square = side * side

now according to statement

1/2 * b* h = side * side

1/2 * x * h = x *x

h = 2 *x*x/x

h = 2x

So altitude = 2x
