From the text you can derive the following equations:
(1) A = bh/2 = 8
(2) and h = b+6
Fill in h in (1):
b(b+6)/2 = 8 => b^2 + 6b = 16 with the quadratic formula or simply trying some values for b you can find b=2, so h=8.

Answer:


And the 95% confidence interval would be givne by (65.89; 67.11)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have a 99% confidence interval for the true mean hegiht givne by:

And we can begin finding the mean with this formula:

Now we can estimate the margin of error:

The sample size for this case is
then the degrees of freedom are given by:

And then we can find a critical value for a 99% of confidence and 143 degrees of freedom using a significance level of 0.01 and we got:

Then the standard error is given by:

Now we can find the other critical value for 95% of confidence and we got:

And the new confidence interval would be given by:


And the 95% confidence interval would be givne by (65.89; 67.11)
