Given:-
- The height of the triangle is 7cm less than its base.
- The Hypotenuse = 13cm
To Find:-
- The quadratic equation to find the base of the triangle
Solution:-
- Let the base of the triangle be x.In this question, we given that the height is 7cm less than the base.Then :-
- Height of the triangle will be = (x - 7)
- (As side can't be negative.)
Hence,
- Base = (x) = 12 cm
- Height = (x - 7) = 12 - 7 = 5cm
