The area of a triangle piece of aluminum sheeting is 120 inches^2. the base of the triangle is 4 inches more then twice the height. find the length of the base and height of aluminum triangle.

Length of the base of aluminum triangle is 24 inch

Height  of aluminum triangle is 10 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume height of  triangle is h

we are given

The base of the triangle is 4 inches more then twice the height

so, we get length of the base of triangle

now, we can find area of triangle

now, we can plug b

now, we are given that area =120inch^2

so, we can set it

now, we can solve for h

we can factor out 2

now, we can factor it

we can set each terms =0

and then we can solve for h

we know that height can never be negative

so, we will only consider h=10

now, we can find b

Length of the base of aluminum triangle is 24 inch

Height  of aluminum triangle is 10 inch

yes ok
