a square and an equilateral triangle have equal perimeters.If a diagnol of the square is 24 root 2 then find the area of the triangle
Answers
Answer:
We know that,
perimeter of square= 4× side
And perimeter of equilateral triangle= p=3a
Given that,
square is 24 root 2
Then, Area of The triangle= 1/2 Base×height.
Answer:
It is given that the perimeters of a square and an equilateral triangles is same. And the length of the diagonal is given to us.
GiveN:
Length of the diagonal = 24√2
And we have to find the area of the triangle.....?
So, we know that the sides of the square are equal and the diagonal and two sides form a right angled triangle.
Let, the side of the square be a
By Pythagoras theoram,
➝ a² + a² = (24√2)²
➝ 2a² = 576 × 2
➝ a² = 576
➝ a = √576 = 24 cm
ATQ,
Perimeter of square = Perimeter of ∆
➝ 4 × side of square = 3 × side of triangle
➝ 4 × 24 cm = 3 × side of triangle
➝ Side of triangle = 4 × 24 / 3 cm
➝ Side of triangle = 32 cm
Now finding the area of the equilateral triangle,
Area of triangle = √3 / 4 × (side)²
➝ Area of the triangle = √3 / 4 × 32 × 32 cm²
➝ Area of the triangle = 256√3 cm²
So, the required area of the eq. triangle:
And we are done !!
