A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60
Answer:
4.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of two similar triangles are 75 m2 and 300 m2. This gives you the scale factor of the triangles:

Then you can find the length of the corresponding side:

Answer: 5 < x < 29</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
Since AB is smaller than AD, this must mean the angle ACB is smaller than angle ACD. Note how these angles are opposite the sides mentioned.
So 2x-10 < 48
At the same time, 2x-10 is also larger than 0.
Overall, we can say 0 < 2x-10 < 48
---------
Let's solve for x
0 < 2x-10 < 48
0+10 < 2x < 48+10 ...... add 10 to all sides
10 < 2x < 58
10/2 < x < 58/2 ..... divide all sides by 2
5 < x < 29
