Question

The length of one side of a triangle is 1 less than twice the smallest side and the length on other side is 3 more than the smallest side if the perimeter of triangle is 182 metre find the area of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

1834 sq meter

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smallest side be x,

therefore,

first side=2x

second side=x

third side=x+3

so we get the equation,

2x+x+x+3=182

3x+3=180

3x=180-3

3x=177

x=59

hence, putting the value of x we get the sides 118,59and62

we know that area of triangle=1/2(base×hieght)

1/2(62×59)

1/2×3668

1834 sq meter
