Question

iii) The ratio of the areas of two triangles with the common base is 6:5. Height of the larger triangle is 9cm, then find the corresponding height of the smaller triangle.

Answer 1

let 6/5=9/x
x=9×5/6
x=3×5/2
x=1.5×5
x=7.5
so the height of small triangle is 7.5 units

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let 6:5=9:x

x=9×5/6

x=3×5/2

×=1.5×5

x=7.5 units

the corresponding height of smallest triangle is 7.5 units
