The area of a triangle is 96 cm2 and the ratio of its sides is 6 : 8 : 10. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Ratio of its sides is 6 : 8 : 10
Area = 96 cm2
As the ratio of the sides of the triangle are making triplet . So it is a right angled triangle.
area = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × Base × Height
96 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 8x × 6x
x = 2
Perimeter = x(6 + 8 + 10) = 2(24) = 48 cm
