A=½bh right?

jhonyy9 · Answer

yes right so using this formula what choice will be same with this formula using what you know again that the height is 4 less than the base of triangle

jhonyy9 · Answer

and for 2. how can you writing an equation using this date that the height is 6 m more than its base ?
