The perimeter of a triangular field is 120 m and the sides are in the ratio of 25::15::20. find its area
Answers
Answer :
600 m²
____________
As per the provided information in the given question, we have :
- Perimeter of the triangular field = 120 m
- Sides are in the ratio of 25:15:20
We are asked to calculate,
- Area of the field.
In order to calculate the area of triangle. We need to find its side.
Finding the sides of the field :
Let us assume the sides of the field as 25x, 15x and 20x.
Now, as we know that,
According to the question,
Performing addition in R.H.S.
Transposing 60 from R.H.S to L.H.S. Its arithmetic operator will get changed.
So, the sides are :
First side :
Substituting the value of x.
Performing multiplication.
Second side :
Substituting the value of x.
Performing multiplication.
Third side :
Substituting the value of x.
Performing multiplication.
Now, finding the area of the field.
By using Heron's formula,
- a,b,c are sides
- s is Semi-perimeter
Finding Semi-perimeter :
Substituting the value of Perimeter.
Dividing 120 with 2.
Substituting all the value in the formula :-
Performing subtraction in the brackets.
∴ Area of the field is 600 m².
Answer:
The perimeter of a triangular field is 120 m and the sides are in the ratio of 25::15::20. find its area
The perimeter of a triangular field =120m
Let the side =25x,15x,20x
Perimeter of a triangle =Sum of three side
1st side (a)=25×2=50m
2nd side(b)=15×2=30m
3rd side (c)=20×2=40
Semi--perimeter(S)=
Area of the triangle =
[By Heron's Formula]
