Question : The area of two similar triangles is 324 cm2 and 289 cm2, respectively. What is the ratio of their corresponding altitudes?

Option 1: $\frac{17}{18}$

Option 2: $\frac{17}{19}$

Option 3: $\frac{19}{17}$

Option 4: $\frac{18}{17}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{18}{17}$


Solution : The ratio of their altitudes will be equal to the ratio of the square roots of their area.
$\frac{A{_1}}{A{_2}} = \frac{h{_1}^2}{h{_2}^2}$
⇒ $\frac{324}{289} = \frac{h{_1}^2}{h{_2}^2}$
⇒ $\frac{h{_1}}{h{_2}}=\sqrt\frac{324}{289}$
⇒ $\frac{h{_1}}{h{_2}} = \frac{18}{17}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{18}{17}$.

Question : Find the value of the given expression.
$\frac{4}{3} \tan^2 45^{\circ}+3 \cos^2 30^{\circ}-2 \sec^2 30^{\circ}-\frac{3}{4} \cot^2 60^{\circ}$

Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$

Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$

Option 4: $\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{4}{3} \tan^2 45^{\circ}+3 \cos^2 30^{\circ}-2 \sec^2 30^{\circ}-\frac{3}{4} \cot^2 60^{\circ}$
$=\frac{4}{3} \times 1 +3 ( \frac{\sqrt3}{2})^2-2 (\frac{2}{\sqrt3})^2-\frac{3}{4} (\frac{1}{\sqrt3})^2$
$= \frac{4}{3} \times 1^2 +\frac{9}4-\frac{8}3-\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{1}3$
$= \frac{4}3+\frac{9}4-\frac{8}3-\frac{1}4$
$= \frac{16+27-32-3}{12}$
$= \frac{2}3$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{2}3$.
