Area of the triangle = (1/2)*base*height

base = x

height = altitude = x+6

Area of the triangle = (1/2)*x*(x+6) = 108

(1/2)*x*(x+6) = 108

x²+6x-216 =0

(x+18)(x-12)=0

x=-18, or x=12

We can use only positive value, so x=12.

Base =12 cm.

xenn [34]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The ratio of band students to choir students is 4 : 6.

Total number of students in the band and choir combined = 60

To find:

The number of students in the band = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us understand the meaning of the ratio given.

Ratio of 4 : 6 means there are 4 number of band students for every 6 number of choir students.

Also, number of band students will be in the multiples of 4 only and

number of choir students will be in the multiples of 6 only

Let the total number of band students = 4x

Let the total number of choir students = 6x

Total number of students = 60

As per question statement, we can write the following equation:

\Rightarrow 4x+6x=60\\\Rightarrow 10x = 60\\\Rightarrow x =6

Total number of band students = 4 \times 6 = <em>24</em>
