You can put this solution on YOUR website! keep the sign under 20 square feet to adhere to zoning laws.
If the base of the sign is 20 feet, what is the maximum height of the triangular sign?
:
.5*b*h = A
:
.5*20*h < 20
:
10h < 20
h <
h < 2 ft, height of the sign

20=1/2*20*h
1=1/2h
2=h
Are you sure you have the right numbers?
