Answer:
Given:
- area = 18 cm²
- base = 6 cm
- height = (h + 1) cm
Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for h:
expand using distributive property of addition :
subtract 3 from both sides:
divide both sides by 3:
<u>To verify</u>:
Half of the base is 3 cm.
If h=5, then the height of the triangle is 6 cm.
Multiplying 3 by 6 is 18.
This matches the given area, so we can verify that h = 5.
