Solution
Let the height of the larger triangle be h1 and that of the smaller triangle be h2.
The ratio of the areas of two triangles with a common base is equal to the ratio of their corresponding heights.
`"Area(larger Triangle)"/"Area(smaller Triangle)"="h"_1/"h"_2`
`4/3=2/"h"_2`
`4xx "h"_2=3xx2`
`therefore"h"_2=(3xx2)/4=6/4`
`therefore"h"_2=1.5" cm"`
The corresponding height of the smaller triangle is 1.5 cm.

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`
