The height of a triangle is 6 m more than its base. The area of the triangle is 56 m2. Find the length of the base.

A.56=1/2(x)(x+6)


B.56=1/2(x2+6)

C.56=x(x+6)


D. 56=x2+6

Give me a sec

Answer 3

ok no problem

Answer 4

Do you know what is the formula for area of the triangle?

Answer 5

I don't really get this

Answer 6

Hi pixy! So for solving this problem you need to know the formula to find the area.

Area= 1/2)* base*height

So, when you let base as x m then, definitely height becomes (x+6)m. So substitute the values in above formula and you'll get the answer.
I think A is correct.

Hope this helped :)
