Answer:

The height is <u>6 cm</u> and the base is <u>5 cm</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The base of a triangle is 9 cm less than the three times the height. The area is 15 cm².

Now, to find the height and the base of the triangle.

Let the height of the triangle be x.

And then base of the triangle = 3x-9.

The area of the triangle = 15\ cm^2.

Now, we put formula to get the base and height of the triangle:

Area=\frac{1}{2} \times base\ \times height\\\\15=\frac{1}{2} \times (3x-9)\times x\\\\15=\frac{3x^2-9x}{2}

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

<em />30=3x^2-9x<em />

<em />30=3(x^2-3x)<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>

<em />10=x^2-3x<em />

<em>Subtracting both sides by 10 we get:</em>

0=x^2-3x-10\\\\x^2-3x-10=0

Now, solving the quadratic equation:

x^2-5x+2x-10=0\\\\x(x-5)+2(x-5)=0\\\\(x-5)(x+2)=0\\\\\\x-5=0\ \ \ \ \ x+2=0\\\\x=5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  x=-2

Hence, the negative result is not to be taken so, we take the positive result.

<u><em>Thus, the height  is 5 cm.</em></u>

Now, substituting the value of x to get the base:

3x-9\\\\=3\times 5-9\\\\=15-9\\\\=6\ cm.

<u><em>Hence, the base is 6cm.</em></u>

Therefore, the height is 6 cm and the base is 5 cm.

Translate this sentence into an equation: 162 is the product of 9 and Gall's age. Use the variable g to represent Gall's age.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The equation is
9 × g = 162
9g = 162

Solving foe Gall's age,
9g = 162
g = 162 ÷ 9
g = 18
