A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60
Y+x=98
y-x=22
I'm going to use elimination.
y+x=98
y-x=22
-----------
2y+0x=120 SIMPLIFY 2y=120 SIMPLIFY y=60.
Substitute that into either equation and you get y=60 and x=38
Have a nice day! :)
D. None. Say the obtuse angle is 100 degrees. Since the sum of all angles in a triangle cannot be bigger than 180, it's not possible because 195 (100+95) is greater than 180 degrees. Hope this helps.
