If the sides of a triangular plot is in ratio
3: 5:7 with its perimeter 300 cms. find area
of triangular plot
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides of a triangular field be 3x, 5x and 7x respectively.Then,
=> 3x + 5x + 7x = 300
=> 15x = 300
=> x = 20
Now sides of the triangle = 60, 100, 140
Now the area = 1/2 x base x height.
1ˢᵗ side = 3x
2ⁿᵈ side = 5x
3ʳᵈ side = 7x
Perimeter of triangle = 300 cm
So,
1 st side = 3x = 3(20) = 60
2nd side = 5x = 5(20) = 100
3rd side = 7x = 7(20) = 140
★ Sides of the triangle is 60m , 100m , 140m
Given, Perimeter is 300cm then
semi perimeter = Perimeter/2
》300/2
》 150m
Hence semi Perimeter is 150m
Now we have to find the area of triangular plot
As we know that,
A = √s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)
Where a is 60m , b is 100m and c is 140 and s is 150m
》√150(150 - 60) (150 - 100) (150 - 140)
》√150 × 90 × 50 × 10 m²
》√(15 × 9 × 5) × (10)⁴
》 √15 × (3×3) × 5 (10)⁴
》 √15 × (3 × 5) × 3 × (10)⁴
》 √15 × 15 × 3 × (10)⁴
》 √(15)² × √3 × √10⁴
》 15 × √3 × (10⁴)½
》 15 × √3 × 10²
》 15 × √3 × 100
》 1500√3 m²
Hence , Area of triangular plot is 1500√3m²
