area of triangle =1/2*base*altitude
let base be X an altitude X+4
Therefore, 48=1/2*X*X+4
48=x^2+2x
x^2+2x-48=0
Here you have a quadratic equation which in solving will give the value of X.
X=base=answer.
Hope this helps. :-)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
b både
h height
h = b + 4
b(b+4)/2 = 48
b(b + 4) = 96
b^2 + 4b - 96 = 0
b = 8.
