Question

a Traffic signal bord indicatinding 'school ahead' is an equalateral triangle with side 'a'. find the side of the single board, using Herons Formula. If its perimeteris 180cm, what will be the area of single board?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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)

4

=

(9

2

)×3×(10)

4

=9×

3

×(10)

2

=9×100×

3

=900
