the area of triangle is 100√3cm². find the perimeter of the triangle
Answers
ar of eq. triangle = √3/4 .a^2 = 100√3
so a^2/4 = 100 thus a^2 = 400 so a= √400 = 20
so perimeter = 3×20 = 60
✬ Perimeter = 60 cm ✬
GIVEN:
- Area of an equilateral triangle = 100√3 cm²
TO FIND:
- What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle ?
SOLUTION:
Let the side of an equilateral triangle be 'x' cm
✒We know that, the formula for finding the area of an equilateral triangle is :-
✫ Area of an equilateral triangle = √3 a²/4 ✫
According to question:-
100√3 = √3 x²/4
100√3 4= √3x²
400√3 = √3x²
400√3/√3 = x²
400 = x²
√400 = x
20 cm = x
➱ Side of an equilateral triangle = 20 cm
✒Now, we have to find the perimeter of the triangle
To find the perimeter of the we use the formula:-
✫ Perimeter of triangle = Sum of all sides ✫
【∴ As we know that all sides in equilateral triangle are equal.】
According to question:-
Perimeter = (20 + 20 + 20) cm
Perimeter = 60 cm
❛ Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 60 cm ❜
