Question

Identify the height of a triangle in which b = (x − 2) m and A = (x2 − 4) m2.

Answer 1

h=(2x+4)m

Explanation:

It is given that b=(x−2) m and A=(x^2−4) m^2

To calculate the area of this triangle, substitute these given values for b and A into the formula for the area of a triangle A=1/2bh, then solve for the unknown h.

x^(2)-4=(1)/(2)(x-2)h

Multiply by 2

2x^2-8=h(x-2)

Divide by (x-2)

2x^2-8/x-2=h

Solve for h

h=(2x+4)m
