Here is your answer for the above question:
Let, the sides be 3x, 4x and 5x.
3x+4x+5x=288
12x=288
x=288/12
x=24
so, the sides of the triangle are 72m, 96m and 120m. If the sides of a triangle are divided in the ratio of 3:4:5, then it will be a right angled triangle.
So, area of this triangle = 1/2 × 72 × 96 = 3456m^2.
I hope this answer is clear for you. If you have any doubts don't forget to ask me.
