Answer:

Formula

A = 1/2 b * h

Substitute

Area = 60 in^2

b = x

h = 2x - 1

60= 1/2 * x * (2x - 1)

Solve

60 = 1/2 * x (2x - 1) Multiply by 2

60 * 2 = x(2x - 1)

120 = x (2x - 1) Remove the brackets.

120 = 2x^2 - x  Subtract 120 from both sides.

2x^2 -  x - 120 = 0 This factors.

(2x + 15)(x - 8) = 0

Solve for x

2x + 15 = 0

2x = - 15

x = -15/2

x = - 7.5 a negative measurement is useless. Discard this answer.

x - 8 = 0

x = 8

Area (Check)

base = 8

height = 16 - 1 = 15

Area = 1/2 * 8 * 15 = 60 as it should

Answer

Use Area = 1/2 * b * h to find the base and the height.Step-by-step explanation:
