The height of the triangle if the base is 8 is 3.96 units

Given the following parameters

Base of a triangle = 8 units

Let the hypotenuse be "c"

Let the height be "h"

If the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is one unit more than twice the height, then;

c = 2h + 1

According to the Pythagoras theorem:

c² = b² + h²

(2h + 1)² = 8² + h²

Expand

4h²+4h+1 = 64 + h²

4h²-h² + 4h + 1 - 64 = 0

3h² + 4h - 63 = 0

Factorize the result

On factorizing, the value of the height is 2

h = \frac{-2}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{193} }3\\

h = 11.89/3

h = 3.96 units

Hence the height of the triangle if the base is 8 is 3.96 units

\bf \textit{area of a triangle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh\qquad 
\begin{cases}
b=base\\
h=height\\
----------\\
h=4b\leftarrow 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{height is 4}\\
\textit{times the base}
\end{array}\\
A=288
\end{cases}\implies 288=\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot 2b

solve for "b", to see what the base is

what about the height?  well, h = 4b
