18 kids right? Or am I dumb? I feel like I’m wrong because this question seems so easy.
Notice that

so that

We have


so that

You might already know that



so from these formulas we get



If you don't know the formulas mentioned above:
- The first one should be obvious; if you add
copies of 1 together, you end up with
. - The second one is easily derived: If
, then
, so that
or
. - The third can be derived using a similar strategy to the one used here. Consider the expression
, and so on.
Answer:
The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:

and

Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:

In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:
