Answer:
Two sides of a triangle are 52 cm and 48 cm and the area = 480 sq cm. What is the third side?
The area of a triangle is given by (ab/2)sin C. Here
(52*48/2) sin C = 480, or
sin C = 2*480/(52*48) = 0.384615384 or <C = arcsin 0.384615384 = 22.61986495 deg.
Applying cosine formula we get the third side as c^2= a^2+b^2–2a*b*cos C
= 52^2+48^2–2*52*48*cos 22.61986495 = 2704+2304-4608 = 400. Hence
c = 20 cm.
Check: 2s = 52+48+20 = 120, or s = 60.
Area by Heron’s formula = [60(60–52)(60–48)(60–20)]^0.5
= [60*8*12*40]^0.5 = 480. Correct.
The third side is 20 cm.
