IF the base and the height remain constant, the AREA of the triangle is also constant, irrespective of an alteration of the "shape" of the original triangle

Then why not give the original dimensions entirely in terms of x? The substitution is plausable; is it implied in the original set of givens?

I approached my attempted solution in a similar manner by asserting the irrelevancy of the SHAPE for the AREA of a triangle but got caught up on the x=y=z substitution.

BRILL!
