Question

an altitude of a triangle is five third the length of its corresponding base is the altitude be increased by 4 cm and the best degrees by 2 cm their area of the triangle remains the same find the base and altitude of the triangle

Answer 1

let the base be x and altitude be 5/3x and in second case we have x-2 and 5/3x+4 then 1/2*x*5/3x=1/2*5/3x+4*x-2 by solving this you will get the answer the answer is base in first case =12
