Given : Drawn three perpendiculars from a point inside of that equilateral triangle on three sides, of which lengths are 10cm, 12cm and 8cm
To find : area of triangle.
Solution:
Let say side of Equilateral triangle = a cm
Area of triangle = (√3 / 4)a² cm²
Area of triangle = (1/2) * a * 10 + (1/2)*a *12 + (1/2)*a * 8
= (1/2) *a ( 10 + 12 + 8)
= (1/2) * a * 30
= 15a cm²
(√3 / 4)a² = 15a
=> a = 60/√3
=> a = 20√3
Area of triangle = 15a = 15 (20√3) = 300√3 cm²
= 519.6 cm²
