Question

The ratio of area of two triangles with
equal heights is
4:3. The base of the
lorsqer triangle is 20 cm. Find the corresponding base
of smaller triangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(Triangle A: Triangle B =4:3)

base of Triangle A is 20 cm

so, 20/4 = 5

Therefore 5*3 = 15 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

15 cm...

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of areas of 2 similar triangles is 4:3

base of larger triangle = 20cm

b1 = 20cm , A1:A2 = 4:3

by A1/A2 = b1/b2

A1/A2 = b1/b2

4/3 =20/b2

b2 × 4 = 3×20

b2 = 3 × 20/4

=60 / 4

= 15

The corresponding base of smaller triangle is 15 cm..
