The base of a triangle is 2 feet less than its height. Its area is 12 square feet. Find its base and height.

Height of the triangle is 6 feet and base of the triangle is 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is given by the formula,

Area =

Let the height of triangle = h feet

Since, base of the triangle is 2 feet less than its height then base of the triangle = (h - 2) feet

Area =

h² - 2h - 24 = 0

h² - 6h + 4h - 24 = 0

h(h - 6) + 4(h - 6) = 0

(h + 4)(h - 6) = 0

h = -4, 6 feet

Since height of the triangle can not be negative, therefore, height of the triangle = 6 feet.

And base of the triangle = (h - 2) = 6 - 2

                                         = 4 feet

Height of the triangle is 6 feet and base of the triangle is 4 feet.

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.

multiple all that
