I need step by step help on how to solve this problem:
\n" ); document.write( "The area of a triangle is 16 inches more than the base. If the height is 6 inches, what is the length of the base? I can find the answer, but I need to know the steps involved.
\n" ); document.write( "Thanks!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area A of a triangle is 1/2 * B base * H height
\n" ); document.write( "area is measured in square inches (in^2) not in inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if H=6 inches then you have A=1/2*B*6 or A=3*B and 1/3*A=B\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you mean to plug B+16 in for A then you would get 1/3*(B+16)=B\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/3*B + 16/3 = B
\n" ); document.write( "16/3 = B - 1/3*B
\n" ); document.write( "16/3 = 2/3 * B
\n" ); document.write( "14/3 = B\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "plugging in 14/3 for B and 6 inches for H
\n" ); document.write( "you get A = 1/2*14/3*6 = 3 * 14/3 = 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this is what you are looking for and that this helps.\r
