Recall $\"A+=+expr%281%2F2%29%2Ab%2Ah\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We know $\"A+=+27\"$ $\"h+=+1.5b+=+%283%2F2%29b\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"27+=+%281%2F2%29%283%2F2%29b+%2Ab\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"27+=+%283%2F4%29b%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284%2F3%2927+=+b%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"36+=+b%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b+=+6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Our base is 6. \n" ); document.write( "
