$A = \frac{1}{2} b h$ $A=1/2 bh$ here $84 = \frac{1}{2} (29) x$ $84 = 1/2 (29) x$ or $x = \frac{2 (84)}{29} = \frac{168}{29}$ $x={2(84)}/29 = 168/29$

$h=5.79 units ad base=29 units$ $"h=5.79 units ad base=29 units"$

$Area of a triangle$ $"Area of a triangle"$ =1/2 base x h=84#

$:.1/2xx29xxx=84$

$:.29/2x=84$

$:.14.5x=84$

$:.x=84/14.5$

$:.x=5.79 units=height$

$:."base=24+5=29 units given"$
