The altitude of a triangle is two-third the length
of its corresponding base. If the attitude increased
by 4 cm and the base decreased by 2 cm, the area
of the triangle remains the same. Find the base
and the altitude of the triangle.​

Answer:

Let base be x and height be y.

now

height is two - third of the base

 =  > y =  \frac{2}{3} x

Then area of triangle =

 \frac{1}{2}  \times x \times y

According to next condition

Base = x - 2

Height = y + 4

Area of triangle =

 \frac{1}{2} (y + 4)(x - 2)

Now,

  \frac{1}{2} xy =  \frac{1}{2} (x  - 2)(y  + 4) \\  xy = xy  + 4x  - 2y - 8 \\  \\ 4x - 2y =  8 \\ 4x  -  2( \frac{2}{3} x) =   8 \\ 6x  -  4x = 24 \\ 2x = 24 \\ x = 12 \\ and \: y \:  = 8
