The area of a right triangle is (x^2 −6x - 27) square units. The length of the base is (x^2 −9x) units. Write an expression for the height of the triangle.

Question

Write answer in simplest form and step by step. Thanks

Answer 1

Area = 1/2 base x height

height = 2(area)/base = 2(x^-6x -27)/(x^2-9x)

2(x-9)(x+3)/ x(x-9)

2(x+3)/x

(2x+6)/x
