the perpendicular on the side of length 50 m from the opposite vertex.

6) Find the percentage increase in the area of a triangle if its each side is doubled.

7) A skirt is made by stitching 10 triangular pieces of cloth of two different colours, each piece
measuring 20 cm, 50 cm and 50 cm. How much cloth of each colour is required for the skirt?
