Answer: 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve a system of equations.

The formula to calculate a triangle area is A = (b.h)/2

where b is the base and h is the height. This will be our first equation.

Since the height is 4 inches greater than the base, the second equation will be: h = b+4

We replace h and the value of the area (70 square inches) in the first equation, and we solve it by using the cuadratic equation formula:

70 = (b . (b+4)) / 2

70 . 2 = b² + 4b

140 = b² +4b

0 = b² + 4b - 140

The roots of this polynomial are -14 and 10. Since a distance can't be negative, the length of the base is 10 inches.

All you have to do is addition. 2+5+4=11. Or you can break it down and go 2+5=7 and then 7+4=11. Or 5+4=9 then 9+2=11. Or 4+2=6 then 6+5=11.
