Question

Given the triangle that has a base of five less than triple the height. The height is 2x+6.

Answer 1

Answer:

         A = 0.5(2x+6)(6x+13) = 6x² + 49x + 78

Step-by-step explanation:

H = 2x+6          - the hight

3H = 3(2x+6)      - triple the hight

3H-5 = 3(2x+6) - 5    -  five less than triple the height

Area of triangle:  A = 0.5BH

B = 3(2x+6)-5 = 6x + 18 - 5 = 6x + 13

H = 2x+6

So:

    A = 0.5(2x+6)(6x+13) = (x+6)(6x+13) = 6x² + 13x + 36x + 78

    A = 6x² + 49x + 78
