\r\n" );
document.write( "From the condition, you have this quadratic equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(3x+1)*(x+1) = 133.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify it and solve using the quadratic formula.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "One solution I see mentally: x = 6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now calculate the base and the height.\r\n" );
