Alright, here is the way to get the same answer without using the ratio thing I did: Since area of triangle ABC = 30, 0.5 x 3 x h = 30 h = 20 So, area of triangle ADC: 0.5 x 1 x 20 =10

lol, imagine that it intersects the line at 90 degrees. My drawing wasn't meant to be to scale. We can clearly see that its not perpendicular. Honestly, its getting more confusing.

Which one of these two are you talking about: In my first attempt, I mistakenly visualized AC to be the base. Now I understand that BC is the base. Are you talking about the option B where a straight line from the point A meets the line BC (at 90 degrees/perpendicular)? I am more interested...

This is what was was going on in my mind (it's wrong): So, should the height be a line drawn from point A to the line BC? I have never seen the height line intersecting the base line without being perpendicular to the base line. Anyway, I understand how the height has to be the same for both...

Sorry for the inconvenience. I should have at least read the titles of the sticky threads before posting. :P Triangle ABC: 0.5x(2+1)x20 = 30 I don't know the height of the other triangle (ADC). However, since I know the answer now, I can work it out as: 0.5 x 1 x h = 10 h = 20 WHAT?! How...

This is supposed to be a simple question. However, I forgot a lot of the basics and rules I have to follow. I tried to workout the height based on the area: 0.5 x 3 x h = 30 h = 20 But couldn't figure out the rest. Then I thought about going by ratio (not from knowledge but out of...

Hello everyone, I am new here, came here to meet some experts and solve my problems :) I am working on a project, as performance and propulsion engineer of the team (undergraduate). I have done everything that is there to do, but now stuck, i just hit a brick wall that will make my first...
