Question

Ratio of areas of two triangles with equal heights is 2:5if base of small triangle is 2cm then what is the corresponding base of bigger triangle

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ratio of areas of two triangles with equal heights is 2:5if base of small triangle is 2cm then what is the corresponding ...

Answer 2

Answer:

Base of bigger triangle is 5 cm

Explanation:

Given that the Base of small triangle is 2 cm;

We need to find the base of bigger triangle.

We know that, Ratio of Bases = Ratio of areas.  

Let the unknown base be ' B ';

2:5 is the ratio which is given in the question,

Then, 2/B=2/5;

We need to find the value of B from the above equation,

=>B=2x5/2

=>10/2

=>5;

Therefore Base of bigger triangle is 5 cm
