question 233

Multiple Choice

Solve.
-The base of a triangle is 8 more than twice its height. If the area of the triangle is 70 square centimeters, find its base and height.

• A) height: \(4 + \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\) base: \(- 2 + \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\)
• B) height: \(- 2 + \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\) base: \(4 + \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\)
• C) height: \(- 2 + \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\) base: \(4 + 2 \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\)
• D) height: \(4 + 2 \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\) base: \(- 2 + \sqrt { 74 } \mathrm {~cm}\)
