Problem
i-Ready Area of Triangles and Other Polygons - Quiz - Level F ()) The base of the triangle, \( b \), is 3 inches greater than the height. W) What is the area of the triangle? (1)
Solution
Step 1 ：Let height be \(h\), then base is \(b = h + 3\).
Step 2 ：The area of a triangle is \(A = \frac{1}{2}bh\).
Step 3 ：Substitute \(b\) with \(h + 3\) and solve for \(A\): \(A = \frac{1}{2}(h + 3)h\).
