Question 1952: One more....and I will give you a break from this stuff. :)
A triangular sail has an area of x^2+5x+6 square meters and a height of x+3 meters. Find the length of the sail's base.
I got this so far:
Area=x^2+5x+6m^2....I am not exactly sure if it's right or what to do from here.

area of triangle = (1/2)base x height
= (1/2)b(x+3)
= (x+3)b
therefore b =
=
= 2(x+2)
i am out of here - bed calling!
