Side lengths

In the triangle ABC, the height to side a is 6cm. The height to side b is equal to 9 cm. Side "a" is 4 cm longer than side "b". Calculate the side lengths a, b.

Correct answer:

a =  12 cm
b =  8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

S = 2a va = 2b vb a va = b vb  6 a=9 b a=4+b  6a9b=0 ab=4  Row261 Row1Row2 6a9b=0 0.5b=4  b=0.54=8 a=60+9b=60+9 8=12  a=12 b=8
