The perpendicular distances from a point inside the equilateral triangle to the sides of the triangle are 7 cm, 10 cm and 13 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle is. |
\(20\sqrt {3}\) \(60\sqrt {3}\) \(54\sqrt {3}\) \(38\sqrt {3}\) |
\(60\sqrt {3}\) |
ΔABC is equilateral with sides "a". P1 = 7 cm P2 = 10 cm P3 = 13 cm In this condition the formula to find the length of sides is: a = \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}(P_1+P_2+P_3)\) a = \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}(7+10+13)\) a = \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}×30= 2 × 10\sqrt{3}\) = 20\sqrt{3}\) Perimeter = 3a = 3 × \(20\sqrt{3}= 60 \sqrt{3}\) |
