The area of a right triangle is 49 square meters. the height is twice as long as the base.

The formula for the area of a triangle, no matter what kind of a triangle it is, is .  We are told that the height is twice the base, so h=2b.  We are also told that the area is 49.  ∴, and and .  If we solve for b we get that b = 7 and -7.  Since the only 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, -7 is out.  Our base is 7 then, and our height is 2(7) which is 14.

Using the rise/run rule. you would get 2/6.simp. 1/3
