Verified by Toppr

Let the base of the triangle be x.

It is given that the altitude of the triangle is 6 cm greater than its base, therefore, the altitude of the triangle is (x+6).

It is also given that the area of the triangle is 108 cm

2

.

We know that the area of the triangle is A=

×b×a, therefore,

108=

(x)(x+6)

+6x=108×2

+6x=216

⇒x

+6x−216=0

⇒x

2

+18x−12x−216=0

⇒x(x+18)−12(x+18)=0

⇒(x−12)=0,(x+18)=0

⇒x=12,x=−18

Since the length of the triangle cannot be negative thus, x=12.

Hence, the base of the triangle is 12 cm

Answer:

A = 23.6 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be 8 (as shown).

Find the height of the triangle:   Find the supplement of the 100 degree angle; it is (180 - 100), or 80 degrees.  The side "opposite" this 80-degree angle is the height of the triangle:

   

                               height      

sin 80 degrees = ---------------

                                    6

and so the height of the triangle is h = 6 sin 80 degrees, or 5.91 units.

The area of the triangle is found using A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here amounts to:

A = (1/2)(8 units)(5.91 units), or

                                                       A = 23.64 units^2, or A = 23.6 units^2
