A triangle and a parallelogram are constructed on the same base such that their areas are equal. If the base and the altitude of the rectangle are 20 cm and 25 cm respectively then, what will be the value of the altitude of the triangle?

A triangle and a parallelogram are constructed on the same base such that their areas are equal. If the base and the altitude of the rectangle are 20 cm and 25 cm respectively then, what will be the value of the altitude of the triangle? Correct Answer 50 cm

Let the altitude of triangle be h. Area of triangle = (1 / 2) * b * h = (1 / 2) * 20 * h Area of rectangle = b * l = 20 * 25 According to the question, ➩ 20 * 25 = (1 / 2) * 20 * h ➩ h = 50 cm
