    Marie has a collection of photos of buildings shaped like  pyramids . As she looked through the photos, she wondered how tall one of the buildings was. She knows that the  area  of the  triangle  shaped surface is 900  square  feet. She also knows that the length of each side of the base of the pyramid (which is also the length of the base of each triangular side) is 60 feet. Given the base and area of the triangles forming the pyramid, how can Marie determine the  height  of the pyramid?
    ::Marie收集了像金字塔一样的建筑物照片。她从照片中看到,她想知道其中一座建筑物有多高。她知道三角形表面的面积是900平方英尺。她还知道金字塔底部每一边的长度(也是三角形底部的长度)是60英尺。鉴于形成金字塔的三角的底部和面积,Marie如何确定金字塔的高度?

    In this concept, you will learn how to find the unknown  dimensions  of triangles given the area and another dimension.
    ::在此概念中, 您将学习如何找到三角形的未知维度, 以区域和另一个维度为条件 。

    Finding Unknown Dimensions of Triangles
    ::查找三角形的未知尺寸

    There may be a situation when you will be given the area of a triangle and one other dimension and asked to find the missing dimension. When this happens, you can figure out the missing dimension by using the formula for the area of a triangle.
    ::可能会出现这样的情况:您将获得三角形和另一个维度的区域, 并被要求查找缺失的维度。 当这种情况发生时, 您可以使用三角形区域的公式来解析缺失的维度 。

    A = 1 2 b h

    If you have been given the area and the base of a triangle, then you can use the formula to figure out the height. If you have been given the area and the height then you can figure out the base.
    ::如果给定了三角形的面积和基底,那么您就可以使用公式来计算高度。如果给定了面积和高度,那么您就可以找出基数。

    Now let’s use the formula to find the base of a triangle when the area and height are given.
    ::现在让我们使用公式在给定面积和高度时找到三角形的底部。

    A triangle has an area of 36 square inches and a height of 6 inches. What is the  measure  of the base?
    ::三角形的面积为36平方英寸,高度为6英寸。基数是多少?

    Start by looking at the formula for finding the area of a triangle.
    ::首先从寻找三角形区域的公式开始。

    A = 1 2 b h

    First, substitute the given information into the formula.
    ::首先,将给定信息替换为公式。

    36 = 1 2 ( 6 ) b

    Next, multiply one-half by six.
    ::下一个乘以半乘以六

    36 = 3 b

    Then, solve for the base by dividing both sides by 3.
    ::然后,通过将双方除以3来解决基地问题。

    36 3 = 3 b 3 12 = b

    The answer is 12. The base of this triangle is 12 inches.
    ::答案是12 这个三角的底部是12英寸

    Now, let’s find the height of a triangle with a given area and base.
    ::现在,让我们找到三角形的高度,加上给定的面积和底部。

    A triangle has an area of 64 square inches and a base of 8 inches. What is the measure of the base?
    ::三角形的面积为64平方英寸,基数为8英寸。基数是多少?

    To figure this out, start by looking at the formula for finding the area of a triangle.

    Marie found out the area of each triangle shaped surface is 900 square feet. She also knows that the length of each side of the base of the pyramid (which is also the length of the base of each triangular side) is 60 feet. Marie found the formula for computing the area of a triangle, and decided to use it to figure out the triangle’s height.
    ::Marie发现每个三角形表面的面积为900平方英尺。她也知道金字塔底部的每侧长度(也是每三角形底部的长度)为60英尺。 Marie找到了计算三角形面积的公式,并决定用它来计算三角形的高度。
