Question

the perimeter of a triangle is 450 m and its sides are in the ratio 13:12:5. find the area of the triangle and the smallest altitude.

Answer 1

Answer:

perimeter=a+b+c

Step-by-step explanation:

13k+12k+5k=450

30k=450

k=450/30

k=15

13k=13*15

=195

12k=12*15

=180

5k=5*15

=76

the smallest side is 76m

area = 6750m^2
