Question

Base of a triangle is 9 and height is 5. Base of another triangle is 10 and height is 6. Find the ratio of areas of these triangles.

Answer 1

Let the base, height and area of the first triangle be b₁, h₁, and A₁ respectively.

Let the base, height and area of the second triangle be b₂, h₂ and A₂ respectively.

[Since Ratio of areas of two triangles is equal to the ratio of the product of their bases and corresponding heights]

∴ The ratio of areas of the triangles is 3:4.
