Description : Sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12 : 17 : 25 and its perimeter is 540 cm. Find its area. -Maths 9th
Last Answer : Let the sides of the triangle be a = 12x cm, b = 17x cm, c = 25x cm Perimeter of the triangle = 540 cm Now, 12x + 17x + 25x = 540 ⇒ 54x = 54 ⇒ x = 10 ∴ a = (12 x10)cm = 120cm, b = (17 x 10) cm = 170 cm and c = (25 x 10)cm = 250 cm Now, semi-perimeter, s = 5402cm = 270 cm
