The length of the base of the triangle is 3 inches less than twice the length of its height. The area is 52 sq.in. Find the height and the length of the base of the triangle.
The length of a tarpaulin is 4 meters more than twice its width. What is the length of the tarpaulin if its area is 16m^2?

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).
