The answer is in the pictures.
Given that the base of the triangle is x m, the height is 3m less than twice it's base then the height will be represented by the equation:
(2x-3) m
thus the area will be:
Area=1/2bh
Area=1/2x(2x-3)=17.5
x^2-1.5x=17.5
writing the above equation is quadratic form of ax^2+bx+c=0 we get:
x^2-1.5x-17.5=0
Answer:
x=35
Step-by-step explanation:
For a polygon with n sides, the sum of its interior angles is equal to
(n-2) * 180
Here, there are 6 sides, so the sum of this polygon's interior angles is equal to (6-2)* 180 = 720
Therefore, the sum of the interior angles is 720. We can add them up to get
(4x-5) + 117 + (3x-3) + (3x+6) + 118 + 4x-3
= 14x +230 = 720
subtract 230 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficint
14x = 490
divide both sides by 14 to get x
x=35
