Answer:

  base: 12 in

  altitude: 7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh

Filling in the given information, we have ...

  42 = 1/2(b)(b -5)

  b^2 -5b -84 = 0 . . . . multiply by 2, put in standard form

  (b -12)(b +7) = 0 . . . . factor

The only positive solution is b = 12

The base is 12 inches; the altitude is 7 inches.
