Can you find the base and height measurements for a triangle if you know that the area is 22 square units? Explain why or why not.

Answer (3)

No because you would need one other measurement in order to find the base or height. There are tons of combinations that can be formed to make 22 as the area

no because the information is not enough all you know is that h b/2= 22 which leads to h b=44 , where h= hight and b= base

You cannot determine unique base and height measurements for a triangle given only the area of 22 square units, as there are multiple combinations of base and height that can result in this area. The equation 44 = bh shows that many pairs can satisfy the area requirement. An additional measurement is needed to pinpoint exact values.
