Answer:

Height = 14

Base = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

h=6+b

a=(1/2)bh

a=56

56=(1/2)bh

times 2 both sides

112=bh

h=6+b

112=b(6+b)

112=b²+6b

minus 112 both sides

0=b²+6b-112

factor

what 2 numbers multily to get -112 and

add to get 6

-8 and 14

0=(b-8)(b+14)

set to zero

b-8=0

b=8

b+14=0

b=-14

false, measures can't be negative

base=8

h=6+b

h=6+8

h=14

height=14

base=8

The sum of three consecutive is 267. What is the largest integer
Oliga [24]
Consecutive means in order. So let's call the first integer x. The next number in line would be x+1 and the largest integer would be x+2. Let's prove that so you're not confused.  If x is 3, then x+1 is 4 (next in line), and x+2 is 5 next after that. See? So if we add all those together we set them equal to 267 and solve for x: x + x+1 + x+2 = 267.  Combining like terms gives us 3x + 3 = 267 and 3x = 264. Now dividing both sides by 3 we get that x = 88.  That's the smallest integer; the largest is found by adding 88 + 2 which is 90.  So that means that the numbers are 88, 89, 90, and that adding them up = 267. Let's check that now: 88+89+90=267 so we're good.
