Perimeter of right triangle is 30 cm and its area is 30cm2 .Find its sides
Answers
Answer:
Sides of the right triangle are: 5cm, 12cm and 13cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides of the triangle forming the arms of the right-triangle be denoted as "b" and "h".
Let "x" be the hypotenuse (longest side).
ATQ,
Perimeter of Δ = 30cm
=> (b + h + x) = 30 ..........(i)
Area of Δ = 30 cm²
=> (1/2)*b*h = 30
=> b*h = 60 .........(ii)
Using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
b² + h² = x² ........(iii)
From (i)
(b + h + x) = 30
=> [(b+h) + x]² = 30²
=> (b+h)² + 2x(b+h) + x² = 900
=> b² + 2bh + h² + 2x(b+h) + x² = 900
=> (b² + h²) + 2bh + 2x(b+h) + x² = 900
Using (ii) and (iii)
=> x² + 2*60 + 2x(b+h) + x² = 900
=> 2x² + 120 + 2x(b+h) = 900
Using (i), we get: (b+h) = (30 - x)
=> 2x² + 120 + 2x(30 - x) = 900
=> 2x² + 120 + 60x - 2x² = 900
=> 60x = 780
=> x = 13
Hypotenuse of Δ = 13cm
Now we find the remaining sides:
Substituting for x in (i), we get:
(b + h) = 17 ...(iv)
Also, from (ii), we have:
bh = 60
=> b(17-b) = 60
=> 17b - b² = 60
=> b² - 17b - 60 = 0
=> b² - 12b -5b - 60 = 0
=> (b - 12)(b - 5) = 0
=> b = 12 or b = 5
Using (iv), we get:
If b = 12, then h = 5
If b = 5, then h = 12
Whichever option you choose, it means that two remaining sides are 12cm and 5cm.
The sides of Δ are: 5cm, 12cm and 13cm
Answer:
