The base of a triangle is 10 inches more than 3 times the height. if the area of the triangle is 16 square inches, find the base and the height

Let h represent the height of the triangle.

... b = 10 + 3h . . . . . . the base is 10 inches more than 3 times the height

... A = (1/2)bh . . . . . . formula for the area of a triangle in terms of base and height

... 16 = (1/2)(10 +3h)h . . . . substitute the known values

... 3h² + 10h - 32 = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

... (h -2)(3h +16) = 0

... h = 2 or -16/3 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

... b = 10 + 3·2 = 16 . . . . . use the relation between b and h

The base and height of the triangle are 2 inches and 16 inches, respectively.

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
