the length of the base of the triangle is 2 inches shorter than twice the length of the altitude. Write a polynomial that represents the triangle's area

Answer 1

B= 2A - 2 where B=base and A = altitude

Area = BA/2 = (2A-2)/2 = A -1

Area = A-1

Area = the altitude -1

if Area = y and x = altitude

then

y = x-1
