An artist is deciding between two different triangular shapes to use for a sculpture. The first triangle has a base of 20 feet and a height of 5 feet. The second triangle has a base of 25 feet. If the two triangles have the same area, what is the height of the second triangle.

the bot is WRONG AGAIN!!!


area of 1st = (1/2)(20)(5) = 50
area of 2nd = (1/2)(25)(h) = 25h/2

25h/2 = 50
25h = 100
h = 4
