The area is multiplied by 4, not doubled.

If the height of a triangle is doubled how does the area change?
The area of the triangle would double
If the base of a triangle is doubled but the height remains the same how does the area change?
Area = 1/2 x base x height The area of a triangle is directly proportional to its base (and also, actually, to it's height). Therefore, any change to the base (or it's height) is directly conferred onto that triangle's area. BY DOUBLING THE BASE OF A TRIANGLE, IT'S AREA TOO WILL DOUBLE.
How is the area of a triangle affected if the height is doubled but the length of the base remains the same?
The area is doubled. a,b - cathetus; c - hypotenuse; h - height; S - area. S = (a*b)/2 = (c*h)/2 obviously if k is the doubled height. and A is the new area. A = (c*k)/2 = (c*2h)/2 = c*h and A = S*2
How do you get the base of a triangle when you have the height and area?
Area of a triangle = base * height / 2 Therefore the base = Area * 2 / height
The base of a triangle is 8 cm. the triangle has a area of 28cm2 the height of the triangle is cm?
Area of Triangle = 1/2 base x height 28 = 4 x height height = 7 cms
If the height of a triangle is doubled how does the area change?
The area of the triangle would double
How does the area of a triangle change when the height is doubled?
If the base stays the same, the area is also doubled.
What happens to the area of a triangle when the base is doubled and the height remains the same?
The area gets doubled.
What happens if the base of a triangle is doubled?
If the altitude is not changed, the area would be doubled.
If the base of a triangle is doubled and height is halved its area will be?
The exact same as the original triangle.
What is the effect on the area of a triangle if the base is doubled and the height is cut in half and What happens to the area if the base is doubled and the height remains the same?
In the first case, the area will remain the same. In the second case, the area will doubled.
If the height and the base of a triangle are doubled what happens to the area?
If the linear dimensions are doubled, the area is multiplied by (2)2 = 4 .
What happens to the area of a triangle if the height is doubled?
The area doubles if the base stays the same.
What is the effect on the area of a triangle if the base is doubled and the height in cut in half?
you can cut a triangle directly
What is the effect on area of a triangle if the base is doubled the height is cut in half?
nothing
What happens to the area of a triangle if the base is doubled and the height remains the same?
The area should increase.
