Question

The ratio of the length of the sides of a triangle are is 3:4:5 and its area is
7776sqm. Find the lengths of the sides of the triangle and also the length of the
perpendicular corresponding to the greatest side.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:the given ratio suggests a pythogorean triplet

Therefore let the sides be 3x, 4x, 5x

The base and perpendicular are the smallest two sides. So they are 3x and 4x in any order

Now area=1/2*(base * height)

7776=3x*4x*1/2

X^2=7776/6

=1296

X =√1296

X=36

The sides are 108, 144, 180
