Question

The area of triangle is 1176 cm2. The ratio of the base to the corresponding altitude is 3:4. Find the altitude of the traingle.

Answer 1

let the base be 3x and altitude be 4x

area =1/2×base×altitude=1176
$\frac{1}{2} \times 3x \times 4x = 1176 \\ 6 {x}^{2} = 1176 \\ x = 14$
hence altitude =4x=4×14=56
