    Question

    The ratio of the height to the base of a triangle is

    3:2. If the sum of the height and base of the triangle is 25 cm, what is the area of the triangle?
    A 35 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 85 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the height and base of the triangle be 3x cm and 2x cm, respectively. According to the question: 3x + 2x = 25 So, x = 25 / 5 = 5 Now, the area of the triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 2x × 3x = 3x² = 3 × 25 = 75 cm².
