The base of a triangle is four times its height and its area is 50 m2. The length of its base is
Given
Area of triangle = 50 m2
Let the length of the height of triangle be Y cm
Therefore its base is 4Y cm
Area of the triangle = × base × height = 50
× (4Y) × (Y) = 50
4Y2 = 50 × 2 = 100
Y2 = = 25
Y = 5 cm
Therefore length of base is 4 × 5 = 20 cm
