Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 27  7  16

area = 1/2 bh

height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base

base = b

height = b + 7

area = 30

area = 1/2 b(h)

30 = 1/2 b(b + 7)

30 = 0.5(b²+ 7b)

30 = 1/2 b²+ 3.5b           solve for b

1/2 b²+ 3.5b = 30        

1/2 b²+ 3.5b - 30 = 0        

b²+ 7b - 60 = 0            factor

   (b +12)(b - 5) = 0    when b = -12 or 5     base length can't be negative

b = base = 5

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×2(9)     = 9

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×5(12)     = 60

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×9(16)     = 56

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×12(19)     = 114

True

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 4 ÷ 7 = 0.5714
  2. 18 ÷ 31.5 = 0.5714
  3. Because they are the same result, the two fractions are equal. Therefore, the equation is true.
