Question

The base and the height of a triangle are in the ratio 2 ratio 3 if the area of the triangle is 300 m square find the measure of its base and height

Answer 1

let base=2x and height =3x
area of triangle =300msq.
area of triangle =1/2bh
300=1/2 ×2x×3x
3x^2=300
x^2=100
x=10m
b=2x=2×10=20m
h=3x=3×10=30m

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the base and height be x

Therefore, base =2x

height =3x

Area of the triangle =300m

1/2 * 2x *3 x= 300m

x = 300 * 2/6

x = 100m

Therefore, base =2x = 2*100= 200

height =3x =3*100= 300
