find the area of a triangle whose sides are 29cm,20cm,21cm
Answers
Answer:
Given : triangle whose sides are 20 cm, 21cm, 29 cm
To Find : the length of the altitude corresponding to the largest side
Solution:
Sides are
20 cm
21 cm
29 cm
20² + 21²
= 400 + 441
= 841
= 29²
Hence given triangle is right angle triangle
Area of triangle = (1/2) * 20 * 21 = 210 cm²
Area of triangle = (1/2) * 29 * altitude corresponding to the largest side.
=> 210 = (1/2) * 29 * altitude corresponding to the largest side.
=> altitude corresponding to the largest side. = 420/29 cm
= 14.483 cm
Hey Mate,
Given,
a = 20 cm
b = 21 cm
c = 29 cm
Perimeter = a + b + c = 20 + 21 + 29 = 70 cm
Since, all three sides are given, we will use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle.
Heron's Formula :-
(s)∗(s−a)∗(s−b)∗(s−c)\sqrt{(s)*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)}
(s)∗(s−a)∗(s−b)∗(s−c)
( Where, s = semiperimeter or perimeter / 2 and a, b and c are the sides of the triangle )
Area of the Triangle = (35)∗(35−20)∗(35−21)∗(35−29)\sqrt{(35)*(35-20)*(35-21)*(35-29)}
(35)∗(35−20)∗(35−21)∗(35−29)
Area of the Triangle = 35∗15∗14∗6\sqrt{35*15*14*6}
35∗15∗14∗6
Area of the Triangle = 44100\sqrt{44100}
44100
Area of the Triangle = 210 sq. cm
Therefore, the area of a triangle whose sides are 20 cm, 21 cm and 29 cm is 210 sq. cm.
