• A. blue
• B. pink
• C. both the triangles have eqaul areas

Answer 1

The correct option is A blue

For the blue triangle, $h=8$ cm and $b=12$ cm

area $=\frac{1}{2}\times 8\times 12$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 96$
$=\frac{96}{2}$
$48$ square cm

For the pink triangle, $h=10$ cm and $b=5$ cm

area $=\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 5$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 50$
$=\frac{50}{2}$
$25$ square cm

Thus, the blue traingle has the greater area.
