Question

The altitude and base of a triangle having area 600 sq.m are in the ratio 25 :3 .Find the altitude and base

Answer 1

Answer:

area of triangle =1/2*base*corresponding altitude

Let altitude be 25x

base=3x

according to question

600=1/2*25x*3x

600=1/2*75x

600*2=75x

1200=75x

1200/75=x

16=x

altitude=25x

=25*16

=400m

base=3x

=3*16

=48m
