    The areas of two similar triangles are 36 sq cm and 81 sq cm respectively. The height of first triangle is 4 cm, then the height of second will be

    A) 10 cm

    B)  8 cm

    C)  6 cm   

    D)  9 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding heights \[\text{=}\sqrt{\text{Ratio}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{areas}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{triangle}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{81}{36}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{l}_{1}}={{l}_{2}}\times \frac{9}{6}=4\times \frac{3}{2}=6\,\,\text{cm}\]
