Answer:
The height of the triangle is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the area the triangle is given as:
Also, base of the triangle =
Let us assume the height of the triangle = H units
Now, AREA of TRIANGLE =
Solving by LONG DIVISION, we get:
Hence, the height of the triangle is:
The dimensions of the rectangle are: length= 18 in and width =1 in.
<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram. Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle, the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.
The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : l*w, where b = length and w =width. The question gives that the area is 18 in².
For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - l=w+17. Thus, from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.
A=l*w
18=(w+17)*w
18=w²+17w
w²+17w-18=0
Next step will be solve the previous equation ( W²+17W-18=0)
Therefore,
For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.
As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², you have.
18=l*w
18=l*1
l=18 in
