Question

the base and height of the triangle are in ratio 1/2:1/5 and it's area is 125 m². Find its base and height​

Answer 1

Answer:

Base = 25 , Height = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

1/2 x : 1/5 x

1/2 x divided by 1/ 5 x = 125

1/2 x * 5 ( reciprocal of 1 /5 x ) = 125

5 x /2 x =125

x = 125 * 2 / 5

x = 50

substituting values 1/2x = 25 and 1/5x = 10
