the sides of a triangula plot are in the ratio 3:5:7 & its Perimete is 3oom find the area.
Answers
- Given the sides of triangular plot in ratio
- 3:5:7
- we have to find the are
Now 1st fond the sides of plot
- Let the side of plot be x
- The value of x is 20
- Now the sides
- 3×20= 60m
- 5×20=100m
- 7×20=140m
Now we have to find the area of triangle
By heron's formula
Now the area of ∆
Question :--- The sides of a triangula plot are in the ratio 3:5:7 & its Perimeter is 300m.. find the area. ?
Formula and concept :-----
Triangle :--- is a plane figure with three straight sides and three angles.
→ Area of ∆ = 1/2 * Base * Height = 1/2* ab* sinC = 1/2 * bc *sinA = 1/2 * ca* sinB = √( s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) ) [ where s = (a+b+c)/2 ]
→ There are three special names given to triangles that tell how many sides (or angles) are equal:---
1) Equilateral Triangle :-- Have Three equal sides and Three equal angles, always 60°..
2) Isosceles Triangle :-- Have Two equal sides and Two equal angles..
3) Scalene Triangle :-- No equal sides and No equal angles...
→ Triangles can also have names that tell you what type of angle is inside: ---
1) Acute Triangle = All angles are less than 90°..
2) Right Triangle = Has a right angle (90°)..
3) Obtuse Triangle = Has an angle more than 90°..
→ The three interior angles always add to 180°...
______________________________
Solution :----
since sides of ∆ are in ratio 3:5:7,
→ let these sides are 3x , 5x and 7x respectively.
Now, Perimeter of ∆ is given as = 300m.
So,
→ 3x + 5x + 7x = 300
→ 15x = 300
Dividing both sides by 15 we get,
→ x = 20 .
Hence, sides are
→ 3x = 3*20 = 60m
→ 5x = 5*20 = 100m
→ 7x = 7*20 = 140m
_____________________________
So,
→ Semi-perimeter of ∆ = (60+100+140)/2 = 150m.
Required Area of ∆ = √s(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)
→ Area = √150*(150-60)*(150-100)*(150-140)
→ Area = √150*90*50*10
→ Area = √3*50*3*30*50*10
→ Area = √(3*3)*(50*50)*(10*10)*3
→ Area = 3*50*10√3
