The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 and its perimeter is 24 m, then area of triangle is
60m2
12m2
48m2
24m2
The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5
Let the lengths of the sides be a, b and c
Let a = 3x, b = 4x and c = 5x
Perimeter 24 m
so, a+b+c = 24m
i.e., 3x+4x+5x=24m
x=2m
a=6m, b=8m and c=10m
observe that a, b and c are paythagores triplet
102=82+62
definitely, a, b and c are the length of right angle triangle and c being the hypotenuse
Area of triangle = 1/2(8)(6) = 24m2
