The height of a triangle is 3cm less than twice the base. The area is 10cm2

Mathematics

Answer:

The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:

H=2B-3

and

\frac{B \times H}{2}=10

Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:

\frac{B(2B-3)}{2}=10\\\frac{2B^2-3B}{2}=10\\2B^2-3B=20\\2B^2-3B-20=0\\(2B+5)(B-4)=0\\B= - \frac{5}{2},4

In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:

H=2(4)-3\\H=8-3\\H=5
