I think it is two. I’m sorry if I am wrong.
We must know that the are of the triangle is given by definition by
A = (1/2) * (b) * (h)
where
b = base
h = height
Substituting the values
A = (1/2) * (x) * (1 + 6x)
A = (1/2) * (x + 6x ^ 2)
Since the area is 13 then
(1/2) * (x + 6x ^ 2) = 13
Clearing x we have
6x ^ 2 + x = 26
6x ^ 2 + x-26 = 0
(x-2) * (x + 13/6) = 0
As we look for the base of a triangle then x> 0
x = 2
answer
the base is x = 2
6x ^ 2 + x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the shortest side of the triangle in discuss is; x = 20 in.
<h3>What is the length of the shortest side of the triangle as given in the task content?</h3>
It follows from the task content that the length of the shortest side can be assumed to be; x in.
Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is as follows;
Perimeter = x +(x+1) + (x+2)
63 = 3x +3
60 = 3x
x = 20 in.
