Question

The height of a triangle is 3 centimeters less than the base. The area of the triangle is 252 square centimeters. Find the length of the base and the height of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

(b(b - 3))/2 = 90

b2 - 3b = 180

b2 - 3b - 180 = 0

(b - 15)(b + 12) = 0

b - 15 = 0

b = 15

b + 12 = 0

b = -12

Because we measure using positive numbers, we disregard this "answer."
