Question
In a squared sheet, draw two triangles of equal areas such that
The triangles are not congruent.
What can you say about their perimeters?
Solution
Here, the two triangles have the same height and base. Thus, their areas are equal. However, these triangles are not congruent to each other. Also, the perimeter of both the triangles will not be the same.
