Question

Base of a triangle is 12 and height is 5. Base of another triangle is 15 and height is 3. Find the

ratio of areas of these triangles​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of areas of the tringles is 3:4.

Explanation:

Let the base, height and area of the first triangle be b1 , h1 , and A1 respectively. Let the base, height and area of the second triangle be b2 , h2 and A2 respectively.

A1/A2 = (b1 x h1)/(b2 x h2) ...[Ratio of areas of two tringles is equal to the product of their bases and corresponding ]

A1/A2 = (9 x 5)/(10 x 6)

= 45/60 A1/A2

= 3/4

∴ The ratio of areas of the tringles is 3:4.
