Let the nos. be: 3x, 4x and 5x .
So,
3x+4x+5x=120
OR
x(3+4+5)=120
Now,
x = 120 ÷ (3+4+5)
x = 120 ÷ 12
x=10
So, from here as our value for x is 10 ,
We will multiply 10 by the ratio nos.
So,
3×10=30unit
4×10=40unit
5×10=50unit
Now we will use heron's formula for the area
That is :-
=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where s=1/2 of perimeter that is 1/2×120=60
So,
=√[60(60-30)(60-40)(60-50)]
=√[60×30×20×10]
=√[360000]
=600
So, 600 unit ^2 is the area of the triangle.
