It is a mostly arbitrary number, usually between 25 and 50, meant to imply that there is a lot of snow, usually much more than there actually is. For example, a base of 48" can mean visible grass and rocks. A base of 12" means it is July.

The height of a triangle is four times the length of the base find the base and height of the triangle if the base is 18 square inches?

18 square inches is probably the area of the triangle, not the length of the base. The length of the base would be measured in inches (a unit of length), not square inches (a unit of area). So area = 1 / 2 * base * height = 18 square inches (given) height = 4 * base (given) 1 / 2 * base * 4 * base = 18 square inches 2 * base * base = 18 square inches base * base = 9 square inches base = 3 inches height = 4 * base = 4 * 3 inches = 12 inches Checking our work: height is 4 times the base (12 = 4 * 3) area is 18 (1/2 * 12 * 3).
