Question

The ratio of the base and height of a triangle is 8:11 . If the area of the triangle is 396 sq cm , find the measure of it's base and height

Answer 1

Answer:

base= 24cm

height =33cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let base 8x and height is 11x

Area=1/2 * base * height

396=1/2 * 8x * 11x

44x^2=396

x^2=9

x=3

So, base = 8*3=24cm

and height=11*3=33cm
