Area of triangle = base x height /2
48 = (a+14)a/2
a^2 +14a = 96
a^2 + 14a - 96 = 0
Solving for a = 5.04

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find Neeta's total height in inches:
4 feet in inches is 4*12, which equals 48
Add the other 7 inches of her height to get 55 inches.
Then, subtract her initial height from her current height.
55 - 17 = 38. That is how many inches she has grown. Convert that to feet by dividing 38 by 12.
You get about 3.16, which is over 3 feet. So A is the correct answer.
Since we know that these two are consecutive angles and consecutive angles add up to 180 deg, we can come up with the equation 4x +5x =180. Solving this out shows us that x = 20 and the measure of angle J is 100 deg while the measure of angle M is 80 deg.
