Sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12:17:25 and its perimeter is 540cm. Find its area.
Answers
Answer:
let the sides be 12x , 17x and 25x
now ,
perimeter of a triangle = side 1 + side 2 + side 3
540 = 12x + 17x + 25x
540 = 54x
x. = 10 cm
side 1 = 12x = 12 × 10
= 120cm
side 2 = 17x = 17 × 10
= 170cm
side 3 = 25x = 25 × 10
= 250cm
area = 1/2 base × height
= 1/2 × 12 × 17
= 102cm²

Answer:
Given
- Sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12:17:25 and its perimeter is 540cm.
To Find
- Area of Triangle
Solution
Let the side be,
- 12x
- 17x
- 25x
According to the question
12x +17x + 25x = 540
54x =540
x = 10
Therefore the value x is 10
Hence,
- 12x =12 *10 =120
- 17x =17 *10=170
- 25x= 25 * 10=250
The sides of the triangle are 120,170,250
Now, To find area of triangle
S = a+b+c/2
120 +170 +250 /2
270
By using herons formula
√s( s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
√270(270-120) (2 70-170) (270-250)
√270*150*100*20
√81000000
9000cm
Therefore the area of the triangle is 9000 cm².
