A triangle has a base that is 4cm longer than its height Write a polynomial dat represent the area of triangle?

Show work write a polynomial that represents the area of the triangle.

You should have been able to solve this question on your own! It is a straight forward question.

Let h be the height of the traingle.
So (h + 4) is the base of the traingle.

Area of a traingle is (1/2)*Base*Height
So Area = (1/2)*(h+4)*h
So Area = (1/2)h^2 + 2h and this is the polynomial representing area.

Next time, first think a lot on the question. This is just the application of formula to get answer.
