Area of the 120 mm2 triangle:
Area = 1/2 x height x base
120mm² = 1/2 x 10 x base
Find out the base:
120mm² = 5 x base
base = 120/5
=> base = 24mm.
We know that two triangles that are similar will have same increase in height and base dimensions.
Since height is doubled, then base is doubled.So :
height is 20mm
base is 48mm
The area of a similar triangle with a height of 20 mm is :\(\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot20\cdot48=480\left(mm^2\right)\)
Answer : 480 mm2.
