Let the base and height of the triangle be B and H respectively. And length and breadth of the rectangle be L and B1 respectively. According to the given information: The base of the triangle is 50% of the breadth of the rectangle ∴ B = ½ B1 ....... (1) We know that, perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth) If the perimeter of the rectangle is 200 cm Then, L + B1 = 100…………….. (2) ∵ Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + B) Now, the area of a right-angled triangle is one-third of the area of a rectangle ∴ ½ × B × H = 1/3 × L × B1……………………. (3) By analyzing above 3 equations and 4 unknowns Hence, the value of H can’t be determined.Related questions
