Question

an altitude of a triangle is five thirds of the length of its corresponding base. if the altitude is increased by 4 cm and the base be decrease by 2 cm,the area of triangle would remain the same. find the base and altitude of the triangle

Answer 1

Let the base be X
Then altitude = 5/3 X
New altitude = (5X+12)/3
New base = X-3
:-) 5X^2/6= (5X^2-3X -36)/6
:-) 3X=36
:-) X=12
Hence,base is 12cm and altitude is 20cm
