Question

1. A traffic signal board, indicating 'SCHOOL AHEAD', is an equilateral triangle with
side 'a'. Find the area of the signal board, using Heron's formula. If its perimeter is
180 cm, what will be the area of the signal board?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Perimeter =180 cm

Semi-perimeter s=

2

180

s=90 cm

Since all sides of equilateral triangle are equal

So,

Perimeter =180

a+a+a=180

3a=180

a=60 cm

Area of triangle =

s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

=

90(90−60)(90−60)(90−60)

=

90×30×30×30

=

(9×3×3×3)×(10)

=

(9

2

)×3×(10)

4

=9×

3

×(10)
