Question

The base and height of a triangle on is in the ratio of 2 ratio 3 if the area of the lawn is 48 metre find its base and height

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle= 1/2 × b× h

area=48cm²

ratio of base to height= 2:3

let the values be x

thus, base= 2x

height= 3x

now, 48=1/2 × 2x × 3x

=48=x + 3x

=48=4x

x=48/4

x=12

therefore, base= 2x= 2×12=24 cm

height= 3x= 3×12=36 cm
