Question

The base and height of the triangle are in the ratio of 5:2 and its area is 240 CM square what is the length of the base

Answer 1

Since,

Area of Triangle=240cm²=1/2×b×h

Let the common Ratio be 'x'

AtQ

Base of Triangle,b=5x

Height of Triangle,h=2x

so, 240=1/2(5x)(2x)

240(2)=10x²

480/10=x²

x=√48

x=√2×2×2×2×3

x=4√3

Base,b=5(4√3)=20√3cm

Height,h=2(4√3)=8√3cm
