Question

The base and height of a triangle are in the ratio 5 :4. If the height of the triangle is 12 c.m. Find the base and area.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio of base and height of a triangle is 5:4

Given height is 12cm

Base = x cm

5:4 :: x:12

We know that product of means = product of extremes

4x = 60

x = 15cm

Base is 15cm

Area of triangle = bh/2

15*12/2

180/2

90sq.cm

Hope it helps!!!
