Answer to Question #264595 in Python for swsq

Question

Find the largest triangle between the two triangles given the height1, base1, height2, base2.here area of triangle=base*height/2

Answer 1

Given:

height1 = 4

base 1 = 4

height2 = 6

base2 = 4

Triangle formula

triangle = base * height/2

Area of the first triangle:

triangle1 = 4 * 4/2

triangle1 = 8

Area of the second triangle:

triangle2 = 4 * 6/2

triangle2 = 12

So we can see that triangle with base = 4 and height = 6 has a greater area.
