the base of a triangle is 4 times the height. if the area is 338 square feet, then what is the height of the triangle in feet

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h

b = base

h = height

We know:

h = x

b = 4x

Area = 338ft^2

Let's plug these numbers into the Area formula above.

338ft^2 = 1/2 * 4x * x

First, let's divide both sides by 1/2

676ft^2 = 4x * x

Let's simplify the right side.

676ft^2 = 4x^2

Take the sqrt of both sides.

26 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

13 = x

Remember, the height = x = 13 feet

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
