then find the corresponding height of the smaller triangle
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the areas of the larger and the smaller triangle be A

1

and A

2

respectively. Let their heights be h

1

and h

2

respectively.

Given

A

2

A

1

=

5

6

,h

1

=9 and the two triangles have the common base.

∴

A
