Without further information it is impossible to say exactly what the base and height are:

area_triangle = 1/2 x base x height
→ height = 2 x area_triangle ÷ base
= 2 x 22 sq units ÷ base
= 44 sq units ÷ base

So for any base > 0 units a corresponding height will be found, eg:

  • base = 1 unit

    → height

    = 44 sq units ÷ 1 unit = 44 units

  • base = 2 units

    → height

    = 44 sq units ÷ 2 units = 22 units

  • base = 44 units

    → height

    = 44 sq units ÷ 44 units = 1 unit

  • base = 88 units

    → height

    = 44 sq units ÷ 88 units =

    1/

    2 unit

  • etc

All those triangles above have an area of 22 sq units.
