Let's look at the respective formulas for calculating the area of both a triangle and a parallelogram.
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base length x height
Area of parallelogram = base length x height
Thus, if they both have the same area and the same altitude, the base length of the triangle must be twice as long as that of the parallelogram.
