Question
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 5: 12: 13, and its perimeter is
150 m. Find the area of the triangle.
Solution
Given,
Perimeter of triangle =150m
Let the sides of triangle be: a, b and c
⠀On dividing 150 m in the ratio 5:12:13, we get
⠀a = 5x cm
⠀b = 12x cm
⠀c = 13x cm
we know that,
⠀Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all sides
⠀= a+b+c
⠀. ' . 150= 5x+12x+13x
⠀ 150=30x
⠀ →x=5
Sides are:
⠀a = 5x= 25cm
⠀b = 12x= 60cm
⠀c = 13x = 65cm
Now,
Let a, b and c be the sides of a triangle.
Apply Heron's Formula of find the area of triangle.
⠀Area =
⠀Where, S=
⠀ S=
⠀=
= 75cm
Area =
⠀ =
⠀ = 750
. ' . Area of triangle is 750cm²
