Question

Area of a square with side x is equal to the area of a triangle with base x. The altitude of the triangle is

• A. $\frac{x}{2}$
• B. $x$
• C. 2x
• D. 4x

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2x

Area of triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times$ base $\times$ height
Area of the square $={side}^2$
Given, $x^2=\frac{1}{2}\times x\times$ height
$\therefore$ height $=2x$
