Who else wants points? a triangle has a height that is 2 inches taller than its base and am area of 12 square inches. what are the dimensions of the triangle.
show work! being generous today!

If we take the base as x, then the height is 2+x inches...
now by formula,
 x X (x+2)/2 = 12
x^2 + 2x = 24
x^2 + 2x - 24 =0..
on factorising we get either x=4 or x=-6(rejected because negative)

therefore x=base=4 inches and height = 2+4=6 inches

Hello there.

Question: A triangle has a height that is 2 inches taller than its base and am area of 12 square inches. What are the dimensions of the triangle.?

First you need to know the formula for it.
base x height / 2
So first find numbers that have a difference of two yet multiply to 24.
I got 6 and 4.
6 x 4 = 24
6 - 4 = 2
 
In short, the base is 4 and the height is 6.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^
