Answer:
Base= 6
Height= 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle= ½ ×base ×height
Let the base be 3x and the height be 5x.
Given that the area is 30,
½ ×base ×height= 30
½(3x)(5x)= 30
Multiply both sides by 2:
3x(5x)= 60
15x²= 60
x²= 60 ÷15
x²= 4
Square root both sides:
[tex]x = \sqrt{4} [/tex]
x= 2
(reject x= -2 since length has a positive value)
Length of base
= 3x
= 3(2)
= 6
Length of height
= 5x
= 5(2)
= 10
