The area of a triangle is 36 cm square. give three possible sets of dimensions for the triangle and explain whether or not you can also give the triangles' side length.

To find the area of triangle, you multiply the base times the height and divide by 2.

Here are 3 ways to do that and get 36.

9 x 8 / 2 = 36

72 x 1 / 2 = 36 

4 x 18 / 2 = 36

It is not possible to determine the actual side lengths of the triangle with only the given information. There are multiple possibilities.

Sis less than or equal to 75 (bottom left)
