Question

Please help! Will give medal!

Answer 1

Find the dimensions of a triangle that has an area of 64 square yards.

Answer 2

the base of the triangle is (x+8) yd and the height is x

Answer 3

Using figure above (I should have made h=x)

$$
Area=A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+8)x=64\\
128=x^2+8x\\
x^2+8x-128=0\\
x = 8
$$
Where I used quadratic formula to solve for x.

Does this make sense?
