प्रश्न
The area of right-angled triangle is 96 sq meters. If the base is three time the altitude, find the base.
उत्तर
Let the altitude of the triangle be x m.
Therefore, the base will be 3x m.
`"Area of a triangle"=1/2xx "Base" xx "Altitude"`
∴ `1/2xx3x xx x=96 (∵ Area=96 sq m)`
⇒`x^2/2=32`
⇒`x^2=64`
⇒`x=+-8`
The value of x cannot be negative
Therefore, the altitude and base of the triangle are 8 m and `(3xx8=24m)` respectively.

If a, b, care in continued proportion, then show that `(a + b)^2/(ab) = (b + c)^2/(bc)`.
Since a, b, c are in continued proportion
∴ `a/b = square/square` = k(say)
⇒ b = `square`, a = `square` = `square`.k = `square`.k2
Now, L.H.S. = `(a + b)^2/(a.square) = (square + square)^2/(square*square)`
= `(squarek^2(k + 1)^2)/(square*square)`
= `(k + 1)^2/square`
R.H.S. = `(b + c)^2/(b.square) = (square + square)^2/(square*square) = (square (k + 1)^2)/(square*square)`
= `(k + 1)^2/square`
L.H.S. = `square`
