The area of a triangular flower bed in the park has an area of

Answer 1

Answer:

b = 24 ft

h = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

120 = ½hb

120 = ½h(3h - 6)

240 = h(3h - 6)

240 = 3h² - 6h

 80 = h² - 2h

    0 = h² - 2h - 80

    0 = (h - 10)(h + 8)

    h = 10 ft or -8 ft

 we ignore -8 as it makes no sense for a triangle side length.

b = 3(10) - 6 = 24 ft
