A triangle has an area of 34cm squared If you double the base length and height of the triangle what will be the area of the triangle?

Doubling those two dimensions would quadruple the area.
So new area = 4*34 cm2 = 136 cm2

What is pythagarous theorm?
That for any right angle triangle the length of its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the of length of the base when squared plus the length of the height when squared:- a2+b2 = c2 where a and b are the base and the height of the triangle and c is its hypotenuse.
How do you calculate the height of a triangle if I know the length of each side?
A squared. + b squared = c squared.
What is the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle if one side has a length of 6 cm?
6 squared = 3 squared + x squared if x is the height (altitude) of the triangle 36 = 9+x squared x squared =27 so x = 3 sqrt3 = 5.19615
Formula- Height of an equilateral triangle?
The height is a leg of a right triangle. The other leg is 1/2 of the side of the original triangle and the hypotenuse is a side of this same triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height: If s is the length of the sides of the equilateral triangle, The height is the square root of s squared minus (s/2) squared. Since (s/2) squared is s squared over 4, s squared minus (s/2) squared is 3/4 s squared. I'll let you finish it off.
How do you calculate the height of a right triangle given the base length and all three angles?
if you have a regular triangle u have to use the paythagorem theory A squared plus b squared equals c squared and than u have to take half the base of the triangle and the number of one of the sides and substitute into the equation and solve the b squared should be the height of ur triangle :)
How do you find the slant height of a pyramid with a rectangular base?
If you make a line from the top of the pyramid to the center of the base, you have the height of the pyramid. This meets at the midsegment of a line going across the base. Since the height of a pyramid is perpendicular with the base, get this: the height, a line of 1/2 the length of the base, and the slant height form a right triangle. So, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem! For example, if the base length is 6 and the height of the pyramid is 4, then you can plug them into the Pythagorean Theorem (a squared + b squared = c squared, a and b being the legs of a right triangle and c being the hypotenuse). 1/2 the length of the base would be 6 divided by 2=3. 3 squared + 4 squared = slant height squared. 9+16=slant height squared. 25= slant height squared. Slant height=5 units. You're welcome!
How do you work out the length of the hypotenuse?
In a right angle triangle the base squared (a) plus the height squared (b) is equal to the hypotenuse squared (c) Pythagoras' theorem: a2+b2 = c2
What are aspects of Pythagoras theorem?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angled triangle the length of the hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of the length of the base plus the length of the height when both are squared: base2+height2 = hypotenuse2
How do you find the length of the 3rd side on a triangle?
if the triangle is a right triangle than use the Pythagorean theorem (A squared + B squared = C squared
Is length squared the same as length times height?
No! Length squared will be the length times the length again. Length times height is going to find the area so it will not be the same.
What is the length of the height of a triangle?
It varies depending on the triangle.
What effect does doubling the base of a triangle have on the area?
Doubling the base of a triangle while keeping the height constant will double the area of the triangle. The area of a triangle is directly proportional to its base length, so increasing the base length by a factor of 2 will result in the area being multiplied by 2 as well.
