Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by labeling the triangle. Lets say the height is x and the base is x-16.

Next, we know the area of the triangle is 96, so we should make an equation. The area (96) of a triangle is (b*h)/2. So lets substitute.

96=[(x-16)*x]/2

Now, we should simplify the equation. Let us start by moving the /2 to the other side and making it *2.

192=(x-16)*x

Open parenthesis and get

192=x^2-16x

simplify and get

x=24

x is the height so the base must be x-16.

base=8, height=24

Virty [35]

Find percent increase by subtracting the amounts and dividing it by the old amount, then multiply the result by 100 to make it a percent.

Increase= (277-210)/210

67/210

Then it ends up as 0.319047619...

Multiply that by 100 to make it a percent, which is..

31.9047619..

Round it off, and you get..
