let h be the triangles height, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "h+3 is the base
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2) * (h+3) * h = 27
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(h+3) * h = 54
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 +3h -54 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(h+9) * (h-6) = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "h=6, -9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we reject the negative value for h, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the dimensions of the triangular quilt are height=6m, base=9m
\n" ); document.write( ":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
