Question

into Triangles the ratio of their areas is 5 ratio 4 and that of their Heights is 4 ratio 5 find the ratio of their bases

Answer 1

Hi ,

Ratio of the areas two triangles

= Ratio of product of their bases and corresponding heights

5 : 4 = ( B × 4 ) : ( b × 5 )

5 /4 = 4B / 5b

5 × 5b = 4B × 4

25b = 16B

25/16 = B/b

Therefore ,

Ratio of the bases = B : b

= 25 : 16

I hope this helps you.
