Question

The base of a trianlge exceeds the height by six centimeters. If the area is 36 centimeters, find the length of the base and the height of the traingle???

Answer 1

\[A=\frac{1}{2}bh\]
\[A=\frac{1}{2}h(h+6)\]

Answer 2

because b=h+6

Answer 3

(1/2)( x)(x+6) = 36
x^2 +6x = 72
x^2 +6x -72=0
(x-6)(x+12)=0
x=6 or -12 (rej.)

Answer 4

height= 6, base= 12

Answer 5

thank you!!!!!!!
