can you explain, @geerky42

OpenStudy (triciaal):
b = 7h-2
Area, A = 1/2* b*h
A = 1/2 *(7h-2)* h

b=7h-2, correct? you just plug it in formula for area of triangle A = (1/2) bh and simplify.

...
\(\dfrac{1}{2}(7h-2)h\)
simplify that @Dbzfan836 . what do you get?

when the height is 14 cm it means h= 14
Area = (7h^2 -2h)/2 = 7*(14)^2 - 2*14 divided by 2
= 672
