The length of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5 and its perimeter is 144 cm.
The area of the triangle is:
fol 764 m2 (d) 864 cm

Answer:
perimiter of a triangle is 144cm.
let the x will be the equal devider of the sides.
then 3x , 4x & 5x will be the sides.
3x + 4x + 5x = 144
12x = 144 x = 144/12 = 12
3x = 3 * 12 = 36
4x = 4* 12 = 48
5x = 5 * 12 = 60
according to hero's formula = √s ( s - a) (s- b) (s- c)
s= perimeter/2 = 144/2 = 72cm
√ 72 * ( 72- 36 ) (72 - 48) ( 72 - 60)
√72( 36) (24) (12)
√ 36 * 2 * 36 * 12 * 2 * 12
36* 12* 2 = 864cm^2 will be area of a triangle.
we know that perimeter of triangle = sum of its sides
therefore let the sides be
3x, 4xand 5x
therefore perimeter will be
3x+4x+5x=144
12x=144
x=12
hence the sides will be
3×12, 4×12, 5×12
vthat is
36,48,60
now the area of triangle will be
by heron's formula
Let a,b,c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. The area is given by:
Area = √ p ( p − a ) ( p − b ) ( p − c )
where p is the perimeter /2
hence the area will be
a= √{72(72-36)(72-48)(72-60)]
the area of triangle is
864 cm²
this is your required ans
