Answer / kaneez-e-zainab
Area of triangle = 1/2 bh
b=3 times of height, i.e., 3h
h=?
b=3h
A= 24
A=1/2bh
24=1/2*3h*h
48=1*3h2 (when bases are same power should be added)
(poweris 2)
48=3h to the power of 2
h2=16
Square root of h=4
b=3*h=3*4=12
b=12
prof
A=1/2bh
A=1/2*12*4
A=6*4
A=24

Answer / supriya khedkar
a=1/2b*h
b=3*h
a=24
so 1st we find out
a=1/2*3*h2 (h2=h square)
24=1/2*3*h2
24*2=3*h2
48/3=h2
16=h2
so h=4
but we want length b
and b=3*4=12
so ans is 12

Answer / ritesh kunte
see here,
if we consider height as h, and lenght as l
then
given height= 3* lengh
Area of triangle = 1/2*h*l;
if we consider lengh = x, then
heigh = 3x
so 24=1/2* X * 3X;
3X(sqaure)= 48;
so X(squr) = 48/3;
i.e X=4;
so lenght = 4;
and height = 3 * 4 = 12 ;

Answer / nandha kumar
base=3(height)
area=1\2*b*h
=> area = 1\2*3*h^2
24^2=3\2*h^2
taking sq.root on both sides
24=[(3\2)^1\2]*h
24*[(2\3)^1\2]=h
h=19.56 1nch
hence b=3*h
=>b=3*19.56
b=58.78 inch

Answer / anusha
Given:
area=24, and base of triangle= height of the triangle
therfor, b=h
a=1/2b^2 => 24=1/2(b)^2.
b^2= 48 => b=6.92

Mr. Jaweri decided to walk down the escalator on the station. He found that if he walks down 26 steps, he requires 30 seconds to reach the bottom. However, if he steps down 34 stairs he would only require 18 seconds to get to the bottom. If the time is measured from the moment the top step begins to descend to the time he steps off the last step at the bottom, find out the height of the stair way in steps?
