Question

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88 in^2. Find the height and base of the triangle

Answer 1

(1/2)(X)(2x+6) = 88

x(x+3) = 88

x^2 + 3x - 88 = 0

( x + 11)(x - 8 ) = 0

x+11=0 ---> x = -11 results in negative measures

x-8 = 0 ---> x=8

triangle 8 by 22
