The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Height = base + 10
Area = 100 square ft
Area of a triangle= (1/2) (b) (h)
100 = (1/2) (b) (b + 10)
200 = b(b) + 10b
b(b) + 10b - 200 = 0
b(b) + 20b - 10b - 200 = 0
b ( b + 20) -10(b + 20) = 0
(b-10) (b+20) =0
b = 10 (or) b = -20
Here b is the length and cannot be negative.
So, b = 10ft
h = b + 10
h = 10 + 10
h = 20 ft.
The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.
