Question

The ratio of areas of two triangles with equal height is 3:4 , If the base of smaller triangle is 18 cm. find the corresponding base of bigger triangle​

Answer 1

Answer: 24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of 1st triangle= 1/2*b*h

= 1/2*18*x

= 18x/2

Area of 2nd triangle= 1/2*b*h

=1/2*b*x

According to the question

18x/2

Divided by= 3/4

Bx/2

18x/2=2/bx=3/4

18b=3/4

18*4=3b

72=3b

B=72/3

B=24cm
