M2 - Centre of Mass - a real small one

3/4 looks correct. (Intuitively, as the triangle gets tall and thin, the maximum angle of theta must be small, so it must be height/width, not width/height).

When it is toppling (or about to), centre of mass is on top of point of toppling.
So ummmm....look at the diagram
(I actually dont know how to explain)See example 18 in new Edexcel M2 text book
