Question

The longest side of a triangle whose
Perimeter is 144cm and ratio of its
side is 3:5:4 is​

Answer 1

Answer:

28.8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

Let the sides of triangles are 3x,4x and 5x.

And perimeter of the triangle is 144cm.

So , 3x+4x+5x=144

12x=144

x=12

so, the sides are triangle are 3(12)=36cm, 4(12)=48cm , 5(12)=60cm

so , the longest side is 60 cm.

Area of triangle =

√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

here , s=72 and a=36, b=48 c=60

=

√72(72−36)(72−48)(72−60)

=

√72(36)(24)(12)

=

√746496

= 864

So, the area of triangle is 864 cm

and the height corresponding to longest side h=

2×864/60

=28.8cm
