Question

In fig. BD = 8, BC = 12, B-D-C, then `"A(ΔABC)"/"A(ΔABD)"` = ?

Options

  • 2 : 3

  • 3 : 2

  • 5 : 3

  • 3 : 4

MCQ

Solution

3: 2

In ΔABC and ΔABD,

ΔABC and ΔABD have the same height.   ...(Given)

The ratio of the areas of two triangles with equal heights is equal to the ratio of their corresponding bases.

∴ `"A(ΔABC)"/"A(ΔABD)" = "BC"/"BD"`

∴ `"A(ΔABC)"/"A(ΔABD)" = 12/8`

 ∴ `"A(ΔABC)"/"A(ΔABD)" = 3/2`.
