Answer 1

Question: the bass of a triangle is (8x) m and the height is (3x+2) m. find the area of the triangle in terms of the variable x.

base of triangle is b = 8x

height of triangle is h = 3x + 2

Area of triangle is A = half base times height

i.e. h = (1/2)*b*h

h = (1/2)*(8x)*(3x + 2)

A = 4x(3x + 2) m^2
