Given the area (A) of a triangular sail: sq.m. and its height (h): m., find the length of its base (b).
Start with the formula for the area of a triangle:
Make the approriate substitutions from the given data of A and h:
Multiply both sides by 2.
Now divide both sides by (x+3).
You could use synthetic division or regular long divion, but either way, you get:

The length of the base is m.
