Given :-
- Perimeter of equilateral triangle =162cm
To Find :-
- We have to find the Area of equilateral triangle using herons Formula
Now find the sides of triangle
- In equilateral triangle all sides are equal
• Let the side be a
- Where a ,b and c are the sides of triangle
- And s = semi perimeter
★ Now find the semi Perimeter
- Now find the Area of triangle using the herons Formula
Solution
Given Here :-
- Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 162 cm
Find :-
- Area of equilateral triangle , by using Heron's Formula
Explanation
We know,
Equilateral triangle have all equal side
So, we can take here x be the side of this triangle .
Using Formula
★ Perimeter of equilateral triangle = Sum of all equal side
==> x + x + x = 162
==> 3x = 162
==> x = 162/3
==> x = 54
Since
Equal side of equilateral triangle be = 54 cm
Now, Calculate Area by Heron's Formula
For this take a ∆ABC here,
Where,
- AB = 54 cm
- BC = 54 cm
- CA = 54 cm
Now, Using Formula
★ Semi - perimeter(S) = (AB+BC+CA)/2
Keep above values,
==> Semi - perimeter(S) = (54+54+54)/2
==> Semi - perimeter(S) = 81 cm
By, Heron's Formula
★Area = √[S(S-AB)(S-BC)(S-CA)]
Keep all above values
==> Area = √[81(81-54)(81-54)(81-54)]
==> Area = √[81* 27 * 27 * 27]
==> Area = √(9×9×27×27×3×3×3)
==> Area = 9×27×3 × √3
==> Area = 729× 1.732 [ √3 = 1.73 ]
==> Area = 1261. 16cm²
Hence,
- Area of equilateral triangle will be = 1261.16cm²
