Question 1119649: Suppose that AD, BC and BD are line segments with line AD parallel to line BC.If AD= 3 units,BC=1 unit and the distance from AD to BC is 5 units,Find the altitude of the smaller triangle.
What is the sum of the areas of the two triangles formed?

You have described three line segments, two of which are given as parallel. Unless there are some other segments that you have failed to mention, there are no triangles, hence no smaller triangle, hence no altitude for a smaller triangle. Please THINK before you post.
