Solution
Let the height of the larger triangle be h1 and that of the smaller triangle be `h_2`
The ratio of the areas of two triangles with common base is equal to the ratio of their corresponding heights.
`(A("Larger"triangle))/(A("Smaller"triangle)) = h_1/h_2`
`:. 6/5 = 9/h_2` ...(Substituting the given values)
`∴ 6 xx h_2 = 9 xx 5`
`:. h_2 = (9 xx 5)/6 = 15/2`
`:. h_2= 7.5 cm`
The corresponding height of the smaller traingles of 7.5 cm.

Prove that, The areas of two triangles with the same height are in proportion to their corresponding bases. To prove this theorem start as follows:
- Draw two triangles, give the names of all points, and show heights.
- Write 'Given' and 'To prove' from the figure drawn.
In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.
Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC
Now, A(ΔPQB) = `1/2 xx square xx square`
A(ΔPBC) = `1/2 xx square xx square`
Therefore,
`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`
= `square/square`
