Question

The base of a triangle is 9/4 times of its height. If the area of triangle is 144 cm2. Find the height and the base.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the base of triangle is 9/4 times of its height . And area is 144 cm² . Let the height be h , then its base be 9h/4 .

• According to Question :-

$\tt\to Area_{(\triangle)}=\dfrac{base\times height}{2}\\\\\tt\to 144cm^2 = \dfrac{9h\times h}{4\times 2 } \\\\\tt\to h^2 =\dfrac{12\times 12 \times 2 \times 2 }{3\times 3 }\\\\\tt\to h =\sqrt{\dfrac{12\times 12 \times 2 \times 2 }{3\times 3 }}\\\\\tt\to h =\dfrac{(12)(2)}{3} \\\\\tt\to \boxed{\orange{\tt h = 8 cm }}$

Therefore ,

• Height = h = 8cm .
• Base ,= 9h/4 = 18cm .
