Answer» Correct question:- Sides of a triangle are in the ratio 5:12:13 and it's perimeter is 150M. Find it's area. Given:-→Ratio of sides of the triangle=5:12:13 →Perimeter of the triangle=150m To find:-→Area of the triangle Solution:-Let the sides of the triangle be 5x,12x and 13x respectively. We know that:- →Perimeter of a triangle=Sum of 3 sides =>30x = 150 =>x=150/5 =>x = 5 Thus sides of the triangle are:- →5×5=25m →12×5=60m →13×5=65m Now we will NAME the sides of the triangle as a,b and c respectively. Thus, a=25m,b=60m,c=65m Semi-perimeter of the triangle:- =>s=150/2 =>s=75m •(s-a)=(75-25)=50m •(s-b)=(75-60)=15m •(s-c)=(75-65)=10m By Heron's formula,area of the given triangle is:- =>∆= √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) =>√75×50×15×10 =>√750×750 => 750m² Thus,area of the triangle is 750m². |
