The base and height of the triangular mainsail of a sailboat are 1.5 times greater than the base and height of the boats triangular staysail. How many times greater is the area of the mainsail than the area of the staysail

The area of the mainsail is 2.25 times greater than the area of the staysail.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base of the boat triangular staysail  be 'b'

Let the height of the boat triangular staysail be 'h'

Now, According to question , we have given that Base and height of the triangular mainsail of a sailboat ate 1.5 times greater than the base and height of the boats triangular staysail.

As we know the formula for "Area of triangle "

Hence, the area of the mainsail is 2.25 times greater than the area of the staysail.
