The height of a triangle is 4 yards greater than the base. The area of the triangle is 70 square yards. Find the length of the base and the height of the triangle.

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the length of the base. Then (b+4) is the height and the area of the triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  70 = 1/2(b)(b+4)

  b² +4b -140 = 0 . . . . . multiply by 2, put in standard form

  (b +14)(b -10) = 0 . . . . factor

  b = 10 . . . . the positive solution

The base of the triangle is 10 yards; the height is 14 yards.

1. is 4 and 2. is 3

step-by-step explanation:

so if you look at the first one you see that 1 is to 4 and 2 is to 8 and so on, so you can see for every 1 there is a times 4 so if it were 3 then it would be 3*4 and it is 12

for number 2 it is 3 because 1 is to 3 and 2 is to 6 so for every 1 there is 3 so if it were 3 then there would be 3*3 = 9

answer: 48
