Please follow the rules for posting your question.. As far as solution is concerned.. There are two similar triangles with ratio of sides as 3:5. Thus, ratio of height =\(3:5=a:3...a=\frac{3*3}{5}=\frac{9}{5}\). But h is ht of bigger-smaller triangles = \(3-\frac{9}{5}=\frac{6}{5}\)

Thank you Chetan2u for the solution. I just had the problem and did not have proper question and answer options to put it on the forum.

You can only solve this if you know that the two bases (the base of the larger triangle and the base of the smaller triangle) are parallel to each other. Otherwise, you can't find the answer.
Assuming you know that the bases are parallel, the two triangles are similar. Therefore, the heights will be in the same ratios as the bases.
