Answer 2

GivEn:

• Sides of ∆ = 30 m, 40 m and 50 m

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

To find:

• Length of altitude corresponding to the largest side of the ∆.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Solution:

$\frak{Here} \begin{cases} & \sf{a = 30\;m} \\ & \sf{b = 40\;m} \\ & \sf{c = 50\;m} \end{cases}$

✇ Finding semi - perimeter of ∆,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies\sf s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}$

$:\implies\sf s = \dfrac{30 + 40 + 50}{2}$

$:\implies\sf s = \dfrac{120}{2}$

$:\implies\bf s = 60\;m$

✇ Now, Finding area of triangular field using Heron's Formula,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\star\;{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}}}}}$

$:\implies\sf \sqrt{60(60 - 30)(60 - 40)(60 - 50)}$

$:\implies\sf \sqrt{60 \times 30 \times 20 \times 10}$

$:\implies\sf \sqrt{360000}$

$:\implies{\boxed{\frak{\pink{600\;m^2}}}}\;\bigstar$

✇ Now, Finding length of altitude corresponding to the largest side of the ∆.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1 cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\linethickness{0.3mm}\qbezier(1, 0)(1,0)( 3,3)\qbezier(5,0)(5, 0)(3,3)\qbezier(5,0)(1,0)(1,0)\qbezier(1,0)(1,0)(4,1.5)\put(2.8,3.2){ \sf A }\put(2.5, - 0.3){40 m}}\put(0.5,-0.2){\sf B}\put(4.5,1){50 m}\put(5.1, - 0.3){\sf C}\put(1.1,1.8){30 m}\put(4.2, 1.5){\sf D}\end{picture}$

⠀

Here,

• Largest side of triangular field is = 50 m

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\star\;{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (base) \times (height)}}}}$

$:\implies\sf 600 = \dfrac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{50} \times (height)$

$:\implies\sf 600 = 25 \times (height)$

$:\implies\sf Height = 600 \times \dfrac{1}{25}$

$:\implies{\boxed{\frak{\pink{Height = 24\;m}}}}\;\bigstar$

$\therefore\;{\underline{\sf{Hence,\;length\;of\; altitude\;is\; \bf{24\;m}.}}}$
