Question

the ratio of base and height of a triangle is 1:2, its area is 49 sq.cms. find its base and height. ​

Answer 1

ANSWER :

As the ratio is 1:2, let the base of the triangle be 'x' & height be '2x'

Area of triangle = 49 cm^2

=> 1/2 * b * h = 49

=> 1/2 * x * 2x = 49

=> x^2 = 49

=> x = 7 cm

Therefore, base of triangle is 7 cm and its height is 14 cm

Hope this helps you☺☺

Answer 2

Solution

base = X

height=2X

Area of triangle=

1/2×base× height

1/2×x×2x=49cm

x^2=49sq.cm

x=7 sq.cm

Base = 7 sq.cm

Height=14 sq.cm
