Question

Base of a triangle is 4 meters longer than the height find the height if the area of the triangle is 16 square meters

Answer 1

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 b * h

16 = 1/2 (4+h) (h) <=====given

16 = 1/2 (4h + h^2 )

h^2 + 4h -32 = 0

(h+8)(h-4) = 0 shows h = 4 meters ( -8 meters is not an option)
