Question

If the base and height of a triangle are in the ratio of 3:2and its area is 108cm2 then find height

Answer 1

Answer: Height = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Base and height be 3x and 2x respectively (∵ They are in Ratio 3:2)

Area = 1/2 * base * height

⇒108 = 1/2 * 3x*2x

⇒x²=36

⇒x=6(∵x>0,x≠-6)

Height = 2x =2*6=12 cm
