To solve this problem, we need to use the relation between the height, base, and area of a triangle: Area = 1/2 * base * height
Given that Height B = 2x and Base A = x0, we can write the area as: Area = 1/2 * x0 * 2x
Simplify this expression: Area = 1/2 * 2 * x * x0 = x * x0
Since the area is also given as 600, we have: x * x0 = 600
Now substitute the given values to find the value of x:
If x0 = 20, then x * 20 = 600, x = 600/20 = 30 (Option A)
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 30.
Let’s solve the problem step by step:
