Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no possible way for a base of a triangle to be 27 times bigger than one of the equal legs.      It's like asking a T-Rex for a round of applause...not gonna happen.

Even a ratio of 2.7 is not going to work. 0.27 might work, though. Let's assume the ratio is 0.27

x + x + 0.27x = 304

2.27x = 304

x = 133.92070...

so base is

0.27(133.92070...) = 36.15859030...ft or about 36 ft 1.90 inches.
