Question

An isosceles triangle has a perimeter 30m and each equal 12cm. Find the area of the triangle
HINTS:FIND THE ANSWER USING HERON'S FORMULA AND READ THE UNITS CAREFULLY​

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter of isosceles triangle=30cm

Length of equal sides=12cm

Let third side of triangle=xcm

According to problem,

x+12+12=30

x+24=30

x=30−24

x=6

∴ Third side of triangle=6cm

Using Heron's formula

Area of triangle=

s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

sq. units

where s=

a+b+c

s=

30

=15

Area of triangle=

15(15−12)(15−12)(15−6)
