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

Answer»

Area of triangle with base = 9 and height = 5A1 = 1/2*base*height = 1/2*9*5 = 45/2

Area of triangle with base = 10 and height = 6A2 = 1/2*base*height = 1/2*10*6 = 60/2

Ratio of area of trianglesA1: A2 = 45/2:60/2A1: A2 = 3:4
