answer

we assume the height of the triangle is x,

so the base length will be x+4

the triangle area will be area = 1/2 ( base * height)

48 = 1/2 (x + 4) x

96 = x2 + 4x

96 + 4 = x2 + 4x + 4

100 = (x + 2)2

10 = x + 2 (for the square 100, we ignore the -10, minus is meaningless in length )

x = 8

x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

so the height for the triangle is 8 unit, base is 12 unit,
