An isosceles triangle has perimeter 30cm and
each of the equal sides is l2cmo find the area
of the triangle
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of the isosceles triangle=30cm
Each of the equal side is. =12cm
Total length of both the equal side=12×2cm
=24cm
Length of the unequal side. =30-24cm
=6cm
Area of isosceles triangle. =24×2cm
=48cm
☆ Solution ☆
Given :-
An isosceles triangle has perimeter 30cm and each of the equal sides is 12 cm.
To Find :-
The area of the triangle.
Step-by-Step-Explaination :-
Let the third side be x
So,
12 + 12 + x = 30
24 + x = 30
x = 30 - 24
x = 6
Hence,
The length of the third side is 6 cm.
Now,
The semi perimeter of the isosceles triangle (s) = 30/2 cm = 15 cm
By using Heron's Formula,
As we know that :-
Area of triangle = √ s ( s - a ) ( s - b ) ( s- c )
Putting the respective value,
√ 15 ( 15 - 12 ) ( 15 - 12 ) ( 15 - 6 ) cm²
√ 15 × 3 × 3 × 9 cm²
9 √ 15 cm²
Hence Solved !
