The base of a triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost
of cultivating the field at Rs. 24.68 per hectare be Rs. 333.18, find
its base and height.
Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6)hectares = 13.5 hectares
(13.5 x 10000) m2 = 135000 m2
Let altitude = x metres and base = 3x metres
(1/2)* 3x * x = 135000 <=> x2 = 90000 <=> x = 300.
Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.
