Appropriate Question :
The perimeter of triangular field is 450 m and the sides of the field are in the ratio 13:12:5. Find the area of the trianglular field.
Given :
• Perimeter of the triangular field = 450 m
• Ratio of the sides of triangular field = 13 : 12 : 5
To find :
• Area of the triangular field = ?
Solution :
Let,
- The first side of the triangular field = 13x
- The second side of the triangular field = 12x
- The third side of the triangular field = 5x
Using formula,
⟶ Perimeter of triangle = a + b + c
where,
- a, b and c are the three sides of the triangle
Sunstituting the given values ::
⟶ 450 = 13x + 12x + 5x
⟶ 450 = 30x
⟶ 450/30 = x
⟶ 45/3 = x
⟶ 15 = x
Substituting the value of x :-
⟶ First side = 13x
⟶ First side = 13 × 15
⟶ First side = 195 m
⟶ Second side = 12x
⟶ Second side = 12 × 15
⟶ Second side = 180 m
⟶ Third side = 5x
⟶ Third side = 5 × 15
⟶ Third side = 75 m
Now, calculating the area of the triangular field :-
Using formula,
⟶ Semi perimeter = Periemter ÷ 2
⟶ Substituting the given values :-
⟶ Semi perimeter = 450 ÷ 2
⟶ Semi perimeter = 225 m
Using formula,
⟶ Heron's formula = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
⟶ Substituting the given values :-
⟶ Area = √225(225 - 195)(225 - 180)(225 - 75)
⟶ Area = √225(30)(45)(150)
⟶ Area = √45,562,500
⟶ Area = ± 6750
As we know, the area of triangle cannot be negative. So, the negative sign will get rejected.
⟶ Area = 6750
Therefore, the area of triangular field = 6750 m²
