Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation: 5 27 7 16
area = 1/2 bh
height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base
base = b
height = b + 7
area = 30
area = 1/2 b(h)
30 = 1/2 b(b + 7)
30 = 0.5(b²+ 7b)
30 = 1/2 b²+ 3.5b solve for b
1/2 b²+ 3.5b = 30
1/2 b²+ 3.5b - 30 = 0
b²+ 7b - 60 = 0 factor
(b +12)(b - 5) = 0 when b = -12 or 5 base length can't be negative
b = base = 5
area = 1/2 bh 1/2×2(9) = 9
area = 1/2 bh 1/2×5(12) = 60
area = 1/2 bh 1/2×9(16) = 56
area = 1/2 bh 1/2×12(19) = 114
