From a point within an equilateral are drawn to the three sides are 4 , 7 , 9 respectively . Find the the area of triangle
Answers
Answer:
A point inside an equilateral triangle is 3 cm, 4 cm and 5cm respectively from each of its sides.What is the area of the triangle?
Let △ ABC be the equilateral triangle, and the point P in it is such that the perpendicular distances from the sides BC, AB and AC are PD=3 cm, PE=4 cm and PF=5 cm respectively.
Let the length of each side of the equilateral triangle be L cm.
Now we have,
ΔABC=ΔPBC+ΔPAB+ΔPAC
=12PD.AC+12PE.AB+12PF.AC
=L2(PD+PE+PF)
=L2(3+4+5)=6L cm2.
Now, since ΔABC is an equilateral triangle with side L , its area is given by the formula 3√4L2 .
So 3√4L2=6L .
⟹L=83–√
Hence the area of the given equilateral triangle is 48 3–√ cm2 .

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3√4L2=6L
= L =83-√
The area of the given equilateral triangle is 48 3 - √ cm2.
