Question

The ratio of base to the height of a triangle is 16: 10 and its area is 80 m². Find the height and base of such a triangle.

hintHint:

Use formula Area of the triangleequals 1 half cross times b cross times h

The correct answer is: h = 10 = 10 m


    Let Base, b = 16x and Height, h = 10x
    Area of the triangle = 80 m2
    1 half cross times 16 x cross times 10 x = 80
    80x2 = 80
    x2 = 1 ⇒  x = 1 , -1
    Since sides are always positive so x = 1
    Base, b = 16x= 16 m
    Height, h = 10 = 10 m
