A side of one equilateral triangle is congruent to an altitude of another equilateral triangle. What is the ratio of their areas?
for example the are 1 and x for the first one we get √34for the first area and for the height of the other triangle we have 2√3 for the base and 1 for the height so the ratio is √34 : 2√3
A side of one equilateral triangle is congruent to an altitude of another equilateral triangle. What is the ratio of their areas?
1st Δ side = 1 height = 0.866025403 area = 0.433012701 u²
2nd Δ height = 1 side = 1.154700538 area = 0.577350269 u²
The ratio of their areas is 3/4
