Question

Base of a triangle is 9 and height is 5 , Base of another triangle is 15 and height is 6. Find the ratio of areas of these triangles. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step 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)/(15 x 6)

           = 45/90

            = 1/2

A1/A2 = 1/2

∴ The ratio of areas of the tringles is 1:2
