The face of the triangular concrete panel has an area of 24 square meters, and it’s base is 4 meters longer than twice its height. Find the length of the base

Answer 1

(h(2h + 4))/2 = 24

2h² + 4h = 48

h2 + 2h - 24 = 0

(h + 6)(h - 4) = 0

h + 6 = 0

h = -6

Wemeasure using positive numbers, so we disregard this "answer."

h - 4 = 0

h = 4

2(4) + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12m
