Answer to Problem 11PT

X=4 units

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Given area of triangle is 16 square units. Base of triangle is x+4 and height is x.

Calculation:

Area of triangle =16

  =12×base×height=16=12(x+4)×x=16=x2+4x=32=x2+4x32=0=x2+8x4x32=0=x(x+8)4(x+8)=0=(x=8)(x4)=0=x+8=0,x4=0x=8,x=48isnotpossibleThereforex=4

  =12×base×height=16=12(x+4)×x=16=x2+4x=32=x2+4x32=0=x2+8x4x32=0=x(x+8)4(x+8)=0=(x=8)(x4)=0=x+8=0,x4=0x=8,x=48isnotpossibleThereforex=4
