Question

In fig., PM = 10 cm, A(ΔPQS) = 100 sq. cm, A(ΔQRS) = 110 sq. cm, then NR?


ΔPQS and ΔQRS having seg QS common base.

Areas of two triangles whose base is common are in proportion of their corresponding `square`.

`(A(ΔPQS))/(A(ΔQRS)) = (square)/(NR)`,

`100/110 = (square)/(NR)`,

NR = `square` cm

Solution

ΔPQS and ΔQRS having seg QS common base.

Areas of two triangles whose base is common are in proportion of their corresponding \[\boxed{\text{heights}}\].

`(A(ΔPQS))/(A(ΔQRS))` = \[\frac{{\boxed{PM}}}{{{NR}}}\],

`100/110` = \[\frac{{\boxed{10}}}{{{NR}}}\],

∴ NR = `(110 xx 10)/100`

∴ NR = \[\boxed{11}\] cm
