The base of the triangle is 3 cm less than twice the length of the height.
Find the minimum area of the triangle?
:
A = *height*base
A = *h(2h-3)
A =
You can see minimum Area occurs when h=2 (assuming we are dealing with integers here)
A =
A =
A = 1 sq/cm
:
Note that h values less that 2 would give an area of 0 or less
