Question

$Δ A B C \sim Δ D E F$ and their areas are respectively $100 {c m}^{2}$ and $49 {c m}^{2}$ . If the altitude of $Δ A B C$ is $5 c m$ , find the corresponding altitude of $Δ D E F$ .

Open in App

Solution

Given $△ A B C ≅ △ D E F$
$\frac{A r e a_{1}}{A r e a_{2}} = \frac{(S i d e_{1})^{2}}{(S i d e_{2})^{2}}$
Given $A r e a_{1} = 100 c m^{2}, A r e a_{2} = 49 c m^{2}$
$a l t i t u d e_{1} = 5 c m, a l t i t u d e_{2} = x$
So $\frac{100}{49} = \frac{5^{2}}{X^{2}}$
$X^{2} = \frac{25 \times 49}{100}$
$X = \frac{5 \times 7}{100}$
$x = 3.5 c m$
