The base of a triangle is 3 inches more than 4 times the height. If the area of the triangle is 38 square inches, find the base and height.
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let x=height of triangle
\n" ); document.write( "4x+3=base of triangle
\n" ); document.write( "Area=(1/2)base*height
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)x(4x+3)=38
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2+3x=2*38
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2+3x-76=0

\n" ); document.write( "x=-19/4 (reject)
\n" ); document.write( "or
