The perimeter of a right triangle is 56 cm. If its hypotenuse is 25 cm. Find
other two sides. Find its area by using the formula for a right triangle
your answer by using Heron's formula.
Answers
- The perimeter of Triangle=56cm
- The hypotenous=25cm
- The two sides be X and Y
- by using formula formula here
Sum of sides of Triangle=perimeter of Triangle
⟹X+Y+25=56
⟹X+Y=56-25
⟹X+Y=31
⟹X=31-Y
Than, using pathagoras theorem
⟹P²+b²=h²
⟹X²+Y²=25²
⟹X²+Y²=625
- Solving the EQ by substituting method
Putting the value X=31-Y in EQ 2
⟹(31-Y)²+Y²=625
⟹961-62Y+Y²+Y²=625
⟹2Y²-62Y+961-625=0
⟹2Y²-62Y+336=0
- Dividing by 2 on both sides
⟹Y²-31Y+168=0
⟹Y²-24Y-7Y+168=0
⟹Y(Y-24)-7(Y-24)=0
SO, Y=24 and 7
- Putting the value of y=24 in Eq 1
⟹X+Y=31
⟹X+24=31
⟹X=7
Now, finding semi perimeter
Here, a=7 b=24 c=25
⟹Semi perimeter=7+24+25/2
⟹Semi perimeter=56/2
⟹Semi perimeter=28
As we know that,
Area of Triangle =1/2×base×height
Here, base=7cm height=24cm
Area=1/2×7×24
Area=12×7
Area=84cm²
Applying , heron's formula here to find the area of Triangle
⟹Area=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
⟹Area=√28(28-7)(28-24)(28-25)
⟹Area=√28x21x4x3
⟹Area=√7x2x2x7x3x2x2x3
⟹Area=7x2x2x3
⟹Aea=84 cm²
Hence,
The area of Triangle is 84cm²
The two sides of Triangle=7cm and 24cm
The area of Triangle=84cm²
