The area of a right angled triangle is `165m^2`. Determine its base and altitude if the latter exceeds the former by7m.

Answer» Correct Answer - `" base"=15m," altitude"=22m`
Let the base be x metres. Then, altitude `=(x+7)m.`
`:." "(1)/(2)xx x xx(x+7)=165impliesx^(2)+7x-330=0`
`implies" "x^(2)+22x-15x-330=0implies(x-15)(x+22)=0impliesx=15.
