First, we'll recall the formula of the area of a triangle,
that contains the base and the height.
A = b*h/2
(1)
b = base
h =
height
From enunciation, we have
that:
h = 2b (2)
We'll
substitute (2) in (1) and we'll get:
A =
b*2b/2
We'll simplify:
A =
b^2
From enunciation, the value of the area
is:
576 square inches =
b^2
We'll take square root both
sides:
sqrt 576 = sqrt b^2
b =
24 inches
The length of the base of triangle
is b = 24 inches long.
