Given :
ratio of base of triangle: height = 3:2
area of triangle = 108cm²
Find: base and height of the triangle
we know that,
let the base be 3x and height be 2x
therefore,
2 and 2 in 2x gets cancelled.
36 = x²
6 = x
hence,
hence,base = 3x = 3×6 = 18cm
height = 2x = 2×6 = 12cm
hope it helps
have a great day
base = 18 cm
height = 12 cm
