Let x=height. then base is x+4. plug what we know into the formula for the area of a triangle
A=½bh
16=½*(x+4)*(x)
32=x²+4x
x²+4x-32=0
(x+8)(x-4)=0
so x can be-8 our 4. when we plug-8 in for x we get a negative height. since a triangle cannot have a negative side length we discard-8 and try 4. height=4 and base=8
Answer:
The answer is 6 feet below the surface of the water.
Step-by-step explanation:
So the fish started out as 12m below the surface then went 3m down. If you add 12m and 3m you'll 15m, then minus with a 9m to came up with 6m. But the fish is still below surface, which gives you the answer of " 6 feet below the surface"

X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
