find the are of the isosceles triangle has perimeter 30 cm and each equal side is 8 cm find area of the triangle
Answers
GiveN:
- Perimeter of the triangle = 30 cm
- Each equal side = 8 cm
To FinD:
- Area of the isoceles triangle?
Step-wise-Step Explanation:
Two sides are equal in an isoceles triangle. Hence, teh Perimeter will be:
➛ 2(Equal side) + Unequal side = 30 cm
➛ 2(8 cm) + Unequal side = 30 cm
➛ 16 cm + Unequal side = 30 cm
➛ Unequal side = 14 cm
Hence the sides of the triangle are 8 cm, 8 cm and 14 cm. We can use Heron's formula for finding the area of ∆.
Semiperimeter = 30 cm / 2 = 15 cm
Putting the given values:

Hence,
- The required area of the isoceles triangle is approximately 27. 11 cm²
An isosceles triangle has perimeter 30cm and each of the equal sides is 12cm. Find the area of the triangle.
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/2
s=30/2=15
Area of triangle=
√15(15−12)(15−12)(15−6) cm²
=3×3×√15cm²
=9√15cm²
therefore,area of triangle=9√15cm²
