Question

6. The base of a triangular field is three times its height. If the cost
at 36 per hectare is 486, find its base and height (1 hectare = 10000)m2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares

13.5*10000m2=135000m2

Let altitude = x metres and base = 3x metres.

Then, 12*3x*x=135000⇒x2=90000⇒x=300

Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.
