Q1 of 49 Page 5

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.

We know that area of triangle = × Base× Height

⇒ Area (triangle 1) = ×9× 5


=


⇒ Area (triangle 2) = ×10× 6


= 30


∴ the ratio of areas of these triangles will be =


=


=


=
