Question

Base and height of a triangle are in the ratio 5:2 and area is 240 cm

Answer 1

What we have to find ?
Please mention it.

Answer 2

let the base be x and height be y

then x/y =5/2

x=5y/2_______(1)

we know that x × y =240

substituting (2) here

5y/2 × y =240

5y²=480

y²=480/5

y²=96

y=√96

=3√7

x=5(3√7)/2

=15√7/2
