sides of a triangular plot are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7 and its perimeter is 300 m. Find its area and the length of perpendicular drawn on the biggest side.
Answers
he sides of a triangular plot are given as 3:5:7.
Let the sides,
a=3x ;. b=5x ; c=7x.
Perimeter = 3x+5x+7x
300 = 15x
x = 300/15
x = 20.
Now,
a=3x=3×20
= 60m.
b=5x=5×20
= 100m.
c=7x=7×20
= 140m.
Therefore,
Semi perimeter = a+b+c/2
= 60+100+140/2
= 300/2
= 150m.
So,
Area = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
= √150(150-60)(150-100)(150-140)
= √150×90×50×10
= √30×5×30×3×5×10×10
= 30×5×10√3
= 1500√3......
length of perpendicular=(150*3^1/2)/7

Let the sides of a triangular plot is 3x , 5x and 7x
3x + 5x + 7x = 300 m
15x = 300
x = 300/15
x = 20
then the sides of triangular plot is
3x = (3 × 20) = 60
5x = (5 × 20) = 100
7x = (7 × 20) =140
now the area of triangular plot is
area=
