Area of triangle 150cm and its sides are respectively 3:4:5 what is the perimeter
Answers
==============================================================
Ratio of sides = 3:4:5
Let the sides be 3x, 4x and 5x.
But, 1 min,...
First we have to find which type of triangle is this.
It seems that,
(3x)² + (4x)² = 9x² + 16x² = 25x² = (5x)²
⇒ (3x)² + (4x)² = (5x)²
Which means, the square of the largest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other sides, i.e., Pythagoras' theorem.
So it is a right triangle!
We know that the area of a right triangle is half of the product of the perpendicular sides.
Here the hypotenuse is 5x. So the other sides 3x and 4x are the perpendicular sides.
∴ 1/2 × 3x × 4x = 150
⇒ 1/2 × 12x² = 150
⇒ 6x² = 150
⇒ x² = 25
⇒ x = 5
So we got the value of x. So let's find the perimeter.
Perimeter
= 3x + 4x + 5x
= 12x
= 12 × 5
= '60 cm'
∴ Perimeter is 60 cm.
