Question Detail
The base of a triangle is 15 cm and height is 12 cm. The height of another triangle of double the area having the base 20 cm is :
- 22 cm
- 20 cm
- 18 cm
- 10 cm
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
\text{Area of triangle, A1 = }\frac{1}{2}*base*height \\
= \frac{1}{2}*15*12 = 90 cm^2 \\
\text{Area of second triangle =} 2*A1 \\
= 180 cm^2 \\
\frac{1}{2}*20*height = 180 \\
=> height = 18 cm
\end{aligned}
