the height of a triangle is 7cm greater than its base and its area is 15cm squared. find the value of its height

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base be b, height be h

h = 7+b or we can say that b = h -7

A = 15 cm²

General formula for area of a triangle

A = b · h

Substitute what we know to find the height h

15 = (h-7) · h

15 = h² -7h

0 = h²-7h -15

h = (7 ±√49 + 4·1·15)/2

h = (7 ±√109)/2

h ≈ -1.72 reject this solution because height cannot be negative

h ≈ 8.72 cm

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
