Question 362305: The triangular entrance to a tent is 2 feet taller than it is wide. the area of the entrance is 12feet squared. find the height and the base. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let w = width of entrance. Then height is w+2. , or
w = -6 or w = 4. Drop the negative value. Therefore the width is 4 feet, the height 6 feet.
