Answer:

Height = 10 m

Base = 27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of a triangle is seven more than twice the height

The area of the triangle is 135 m²

Height = x

Base = 2x + 7

Area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} × base × height

∴

\frac{1}{2} × (x) × (2x + 7) = 135

2x² + 7x - 270 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula we get;

x = 10 or -13.5

Since we can't have a length being negative, the height of this triangle is 10 m

The base = 2(10) + 7 = 27

+ First we have y=0 and x=m or 0=a*m+b or b= -a*m
+ Then we have x=0, y=n or n=a*0+b or b=n
And if m≠0 we have a= -n/m
and if m=0 this line has no slope
