The area of a triangle is 10 square meters. The height is one meter longer than the base. What are the lengths of the base and height of the triangle?

b=4, h=5

Step-by-step explanation:b (b+1) divided by 2 is 10, so b (b+1) = 20 so b^2 + b = 20 so b^2 + b - 20=0 which equals (b+5) (b-4), giving us solutions - 5 and 4. However, - 5 is invalid bc it is negative, so base must be 4 making height 5
