The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 10: 24: 26 and its perimeter is 300 m. What is its area?
|
2500 sq m 3000 sq m 3500 sq m 4000 sq m |
3000 sq m |
The sides of the triangle indicates that it is a right angled triangle. So, according to the question: 60 x = 300 x = 5 cm So, the sides are: 10 x 5, 24 x 5 and 26 x 5 50, 120, 130 Thus, the area of the triangle can be calculated as follows: \(\frac{1}{2 }\) x b x h \(\frac{ 1}{2 }\) x 50 x 120 3000 m2 |
