Answer:

<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call

b= base of the triangle

h=height of the triangle

The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:

b = h + 9

The area of the triangle is:

\displaystyle A=\frac{bh}{2}

\displaystyle A=\frac{(h+9)h}{2}

And its value is 180:

\displaystyle \frac{(h+9)h}{2}=180

Multiplying by 2:

(h+9)h=360

Operating:

h^2+9h-360=0

Factoring:

(h-15)(h+24)=0

The only valid positive solution is:

h = 15 cm

And b = h + 9 = 24

b = 24 cm

The base is 24 cm long.
