A. 3: 5 B. 9: 25 C. 5: 3 D. √(3): √(5)

Answer: (A) 3: 5 When heights are equal, areas are proportional to bases: b₁/b₂ = 36/60 = 3/5. Squares or square roots are used only for similar triangles, not here.

Answer: (A) 3 : 5

When heights are equal, areas are proportional to bases: \(\dfrac{b_1}{b_2} = \dfrac{36}{60} = \dfrac{3}{5}\). Squares or square roots are used only for similar triangles, not here.
