The side of a triangular plot are in the ratio of 3:5:7 and it's perimeter is 300m find its area
Answers
Let the sides of the triangle be 3x, 5x and 7x repsectively and since the perimeter is 300m
So, 3x + 5x + 7x=300
15x=300
x=300/15
x=20 m
so,length of one side=60 m
length of second side=100 m
and length of third side=140 m
Now perimeter=300m
therefore semi-perimeter=150 metre
now according to herons formula -
Area = root 150* (150-60) * (150-100) * (150-140)
= root 150 * 90 * 50 * 10
= root 30*5 * 30*3 * 5*10 *10
= root 30^2 * 5^2 * 10^2 *3
= 30 * 5 * 10 * root 3
= 1500 root 3
Step-by-step explanation:
given-
ratio 3:5:7
perimetre-300m
to find - area?
formula - side 1+2+3=perimeter
area=1/2×base×height
solutions-
let the common multiple be X
3x+5x+7x= 300
15x=300
X=300÷15
x = 20
so,sides are 3×20=60
5×20=100
7×20=140
now ahead u can do
