Answer:

<h2>height = 12 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is given by

A =  \frac{1}{2} bh

where

b is the base

h is the height

From the question

Area = 21 m²

The statement

The height of a triangle is 8 m more than the length of the base is written as

h = 8 + b

Make b the subject

That's

b = h - 8

Substitute the expression into the above formula and solve for the height

That's

21 =  \frac{1}{2} (h - 8)h

Multiply through by 2

h² - 8h = 48

h² - 8h - 48 = 0

(h + 4)(h - 12) = 0

h + 4 = 0 h - 12 = 0

h = - 4 h = 12

Since the height cannot be a negative number we have the final answer as

<h3>height = 12 cm</h3>

Hope this helps you
