Question 1022371: Hi, I'm having trouble understanding hoe to set up and solve the equation:
When the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza,Egypt, was built, the area of each fence was 225,000 ft. The height was 150 ft less than the base. Find the length of the base and the height.

Your question is not properly stated.
A fence cannot have area of 225000 ft, as 225000 ft is a linear measurement,
(one dimensional) and area is two dimensional (for example "square feet").

Please post your question exactly as it was given to you,
and perhaps someone can help you.
