Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = \frac{1}{2} × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = \frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

40=b\left(b-3\right)

40=b^2-3b

b^2-3b-40=0

Factoring quadratic, we get

\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)=0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>

Add 35+ 72.5=107.5 that should give you your answer for c and the answer for d is acute because the triangle would have to be 360 to be Obtused and it's not a right triangle because you don't have a 90 degree angle
