A triangle has a ratio of height to base of 3 to 2. If the height is 17cm, what is it’s base? please show solution

Answer :

Answer:

base = 11.33 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

height : base = 3 : 2

Let the base = x

3 : 2 :: 17 : x

Product of means = Product of extremes

3 * x = 2 * 17

    x = [tex]\frac{2*17}{3}[/tex]

    x = 11.33 cm
