Let the base be x+3 and the height be x:
Area = 1/2*(x+3)*x = 44 cm2
x2+3x = 88
x2+3x-88 = 0
Solving the above quadratic equation will work out as:
x = -11 or x = 8, so x must be the latter because dimensions can't be negative.
Therefore: base = 11 cm and height = 8 cm
Check: 1/2*11*8 = 44 cm2

Does obtuse triangle must have greater area than an acute triangle?
yes. take an obtuse triangle that has a base of 8cm and a height of 3cm. then, take a right triangle that has a base of 3 cm and a height of 4 cm. do the math. the obtuse triangle will have a greater area. hope this helps.
The base of a triangle is 7cm greater than the height The area is 60 cm2 Find the height and length of the base?
Base = 8, Height = 15
How do you get the base of a triangle when you have the height and area?
Area of a triangle = base * height / 2 Therefore the base = Area * 2 / height
The base of a triangle is 8 cm. the triangle has a area of 28cm2 the height of the triangle is cm?
Area of Triangle = 1/2 base x height 28 = 4 x height height = 7 cms
What can be said about the base and height of a triangle?
That the area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height
Does obtuse triangle must have greater area than an acute triangle?
yes. take an obtuse triangle that has a base of 8cm and a height of 3cm. then, take a right triangle that has a base of 3 cm and a height of 4 cm. do the math. the obtuse triangle will have a greater area. hope this helps.
Which triangle has the greater area triangle A has base 13 m and height 5 m and triangle B has base 9 m and height 8 m?
Triangle B The area of a triangle is the length of the base times the height divided by two. Triangle A has base 13 m and height 5 m so we have (13 * 5) / 2 = 32.5 square meters. Triangle B has base 9 m and height 8 m so we have (9 * 8) /2 = 36 square meters. Therefore Triangle B has the greater area.
The base of a triangle is 7cm greater than the height The area is 60 cm2 Find the height and length of the base?
Base = 8, Height = 15
Which is greater 3ftx2ft rectangle or a triangle with base of 3 ft height 5 fft?
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length x width; the area of a triangle is half the product of the base and the height. Thus, the rectangle has an area of 3 x 2 = 6, while the triangle has an area of (3 x 5) / 2 = 7.5. 7.5 is greater than 6, so the triangle is larger.
How do you get the base of a triangle when you have the height and area?
Area of a triangle = base * height / 2 Therefore the base = Area * 2 / height
Formua for area of a triangle?
The formula for finding the area of a triangle is: Area = (base * height) / 2.
How is the base height and area of a triangle related?
Because the area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height
What is the area of a triangle with the base of 10 and the height of 12?
The area of triangle is : 60.0
How are the formulas for area of a triangle and rectangle similar?
the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height
What is the formula for area for a triangular prism without the height?
It is impossible to find the area of a triangle with no height, if the triangle had no height it would not even be a triangle, just a angle.
How can you find the height of a triangle if you have base and area?
The relation between the height of a triangle, its base and its area is given by: Area = 0.5 * Base * Height Therefore, we have: Height = (2 * Area)/ Base.
The base of a triangle is 8 cm. the triangle has a area of 28cm2 the height of the triangle is cm?
Area of Triangle = 1/2 base x height 28 = 4 x height height = 7 cms
