Question

The area of a triangle is the same as area of the square. If the area of a square is
100 cm' and the corresponding height of a triangle is 5 cm, then the base of the
triangle is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Base of the triangle is 40 cm.

Given :

• Area of a triangle is the same as area of the square.

• Area of the square = 100 cm²

• Corresponding height of the triangle = 5 cm

To calculate :

• Base of the triangle.

Calculation :

Let the base be "b".

According to the question,

• Area of a triangle is the same as area of the square.

So, linear equation is :

➛ Area of the triangle = Area of the square

Putting the formula of area of both triangle and area of square in LHS and RHS.

➛  × b cm × h cm = Side × Side

➛  × b cm × h cm = 100 cm²

[ As area of the square is given 100 cm². ]

➛  × b cm × 5 cm = 100 cm²

[ As height of the triangle is given 5 cm. ]

Transposing 5 from LHS to RHS

➛  × b cm =

➛  × b cm = 20 cm

Transposing 2 from LHS to RHS.

➛ (1 × b) cm = (20 × 2) cm

➛ b cm = 40 cm

Henceforth, base of the triangle is 40 cm.

Verification :

According to the question,

➛ Area of the triangle = Area of the square

➛  × b cm × h cm = 100 cm²

➛  × 40 cm × 5 cm = 100 cm²

➛ 1 × 20 cm × 5 cm = 100 cm²

➛ 100 cm² = 100 cm²
