Question

The areas of two similar triangles are 48 cm2 and 75 cm2 respectively. If the altitude of the first triangle is 3.6 cm, find the corresponding altitude of the other.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let the length of altitude of other triangle be x cm We know that, the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the square of their corresponding altitudes. Hence, the length of altitude of other triangle = 4.5 cm.
