    The ratio of the bases of two triangles is a: b. If the ratio of their corresponding altitudes is c: d, find the ratio of their areas (in the same order).

    A)  ac: bd                        

    B)  ad : be

    C)    bd: ac            

    D)    be: ad

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given ration of the bases of two triangles, \[{{b}_{1}}:{{b}_{2}}\]is \[{{b}_{1}}:{{b}_{2}}\]is \[a:b\]and the ration of their corresponding altitudes. \[{{h}_{1}}:{{h}_{2}}=c:d\] \[\therefore \]Ratio of areas \[=\frac{\frac{1}{2}{{b}_{1}}{{h}_{1}}}{\frac{1}{2}{{b}_{2}}{{h}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\times \frac{{{h}_{1}}}{{{h}_{2}}}\] \[=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{ac}{bd}=ac:bd\]
