Calculation : 0.5 Mark

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ base $\times$ height

Base = x
Height = 2x

$\Rightarrow$ Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times x \times 2 x = x^{2}$

The base and the height of a triangle are in the ratio 4 : 5. If the area of the triangle is 40 $m^{2}$ ; find its base and height.

Let base be 4x m and height be 5x m.

$∴ \frac{1}{2} \times 4 x \times 5 x = 40.$
