Find the percentage increase in the area of a traingle if each side is increased by y times |
|
Answer» Answer: 300% or 4 times Explanation: area of TRIANGLE=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) where a,b,c are SIDES and s is HALF of a+b+c doubling the sides: LET new s as x so x=half of 2a+2b+2c i.e.x= half of 2(a+b+c) I.e x=2s so area of triangle after doubling sides is √2s(2s-2a)(2s-2b)(2s-2c) =√2*2*2*2*s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) =4√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) =4.normal area |
