Question 30817: Given that a triangel has a base and height of the same manner, x. If the base was increased by 5 and the height was decreased by 2, what is the area of the triangle? Write the solution in the simplest form. Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the area of a triangle is 2bh *b is base and h is height*
the height is x-2
the base is x+5
A=2bh
A=2(x+5)(x-2)
A=2(x^2+3x-10)
A=2x^2+6x-20
