Question

The base of a triangular field is three times it's height. If the cost of cultivating the field at rs. 1080 per hectare is rs. 14580,find it's base and height.

Answer 1

A= 14580/1080 = 13.5

x^2 =(2/3)13.5

x^2=9 hectare=90,000 m^2

(tossing out of the negative solution

for unit measure)

x=300m

Base=900m

Height=300m
