Question

A triangle with a height that is 1cm shorter than twice the base has an area of 60cm^2. Find the base and height of the triangle.

Answer 1

try using the equation x(2x-1)=60
x is the base, and 2x-1 is the height, but you need to find the value of x to know the height and base

Answer 2

x-1/4=4sqrt30

Answer 3

so x=(4sqrt30)+1/4

Answer 4

then, use that to find base and height

Answer 5

ok thanks
