From the explanation below,
a= -10 and b= -4
A ratio is comparison between two number such as
I have three dogs and two cats the ratio of cats to dogs is 2:3 or what is the ratio of cats to total pets which is 2;5
A=1/2bh
b=8+h
A=384
384=1/2(bh)
times 2
768=bh
sub
768=b(8+b)
768=8b+b^2
minus 768 both sides
0=b^2+8b-768
factor
0=(b-24)(b+32)
set to zero
b-24=0
b=24
b+32=0
minus 32
b=-32
false, legnths cannot be negative
b=24
24=8+h
minus 8
16=h
base=24ft
altetude=16ft
