The length of the sides of triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5 and it's perimeter is 144cm. Find the height corresponding to the smallest side.
Answers
let three sides=3x,4x,5x
perimeter of triangle=s1+s2+s3
=144cm
A.T.Q.
3x+4x+5x=144
12x=144
x=144÷12
x=12
s1=12×3. s2=12×4. s3=12×5
=36. =48. =60
hi mate,
answer :The area of triangle is 864 cm² and the height corresponding to the longest side is 28.8 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. Let the length of sides be 3x,4x,5x.
It is given that the perimeter of the triangle is 144 cm.
Let
the side = 3 x 4 x 5 x
144 = 3x + 4 x + 5 x
x = 144 / 12
x = 12
now we multiply by
3* 12 = 36 Cm = a
4* 12=48cm = b
5* 12=60cm = c = base....
S = a+b+c/2
36 + 48 + 60/2
144/2 = 72
triangle area = √ s (s - a) (s-b) ( s-c)
triangle area
= √ 72 (72-36) (72-48) (72-60)
triangle area = √72 (36) (24) (12)
triangle area = √746496
triangle area=864cm²
triangle area = ½ * base * height
864 = ½* 60 *height
864 = 30 *height
height = 864/30 = 28.8 cm
The height corresponding to the longest side is 28.8 cm.
i hope it helps you.....
