Question

Base of a triangle is 9 and height is 5. Base of another triangle is 10 and height is 6 . Find the ratio of areas of these triangles.​

Answer 1

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 triangles is 3:4
