Answer :
›»› The area of triangular park is 1500√3 m².
Given :
- The sides of a triangular park is in the ratio 3:5:7.
To Find :
- The area of triangular park.
Solution :
Let us assume that, the sides of a triangular park is 3x, 5x, and 7x respectively.
As it is given that the semi perimeter is 150 m.
And their sides are :
- a = 3x.
- b = 5x.
- c = 7x
As we know that
→ s = (a + b + c)/2
→ 150 = (3x + 5x + 7x)/2
→ 150 = (8x + 7x)/2
→ 150 = 15x/2
→ 150 * 2 = 15x
→ 300 = 15x
→ x = 300/15
→ x = 20
Therefore,
→ a = 3x
→ a = 3 * 20
→ a = 60
→ b = 5x
→ b = 5 * 20
→ b = 100
→ c = 7x
→ c = 7 * 20
→ c = 140
Their sides are 60, 100, and 140.
Now,
As we know that
→ Area = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
→ Area = √150(150 - 60)(150 - 100)(150 - 140)
→ Area = √150 * 90 * 50 * 10
→ Area = √(150 * 9 * 5) * (10)⁴
→ Area = √15 * (3 * 3) * 5 * 3 * (10)⁴
→ Area = √15 * (3 * 5) * 3 * (10)⁴
→ Area = √15 * 15 * 3 * (10)⁴
→ Area = √(15)² * 3 * (10)⁴
→ Area = √(15)² * √3 * √(10)⁴
→ Area = (15) * √3 * (10⁴)^½
→ Area = (15) * √3 * (10²)
→ Area = 15 * √3 * 1000
→ Area = 1500√3
Hence, the area of triangular park is 1500√3 m².
- Ratio of sides of triangular park is 3:5:7
- Semi perimeter is 150 m
- Area of triangular park
- s = Semi perimeter
- a = 1st side
- b = 2nd side
- c = 3rd side
Let the sides be 3x , 5x , 7x respectively
Also,
- a = 3 × 20 = 60m
- b = 5 × 20 = 100m
- c = 7 × 20 = 140m
- Hence area will be 1500√3
