Question

The area of a triangle is 47.6 cm2 and its perpendicular height is 4.3 cm more than its base length. Determine the length of the base correct to 3 significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer:

this is not possible because 46.7 is a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ar. of ∆=46.7cm²

let the base be 'X'cm

and height be 'X+4.3'cm

a.t.q.

46.7=X*(X+4.3)

46.7=X²+4.3X

0=X²+4.3X-46.7

X²+4.3X-46.7=0
