Answer 2

Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here A = 75, b = b , h = b - 10, then

$\frac{1}{2}$ b(b - 10) = 75 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

b(b - h) = 150 ← option 2
