This is from the Official Practice test -

s is the little triangle's base side length, and S is the bigger triangle's base side length, the bigger triangle has twice the area of the little one. The question wants to know, in terms of little s, what is S?

Any help so that I can better understand why it's not just a simple 2x as large would be great! Thank you :)
