1162 cm\(^2\)
1163 cm\(^2\)
1160 cm\(^2\)
1161 cm\(^2\)
Correct answer is A
Let the length of the sides of triangle be 2x, 3x and 4x.
Perimeter of triangle = 180cm
⇒ \(2x +3x + 4x = 180\)
⇒ \(9x = 180\)
⇒ \(x = \frac{180}{9}\) = 20cm
Then the sides of the triangle are:
\(2x = 2\times20 = 40cm; 3x = 3\times20\) = 60cm and \(4x\) = 4\(\times20 \)= 80cm
Using Heron's formula
Area of triangle = \(\sqrt s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)\)
Where s = \(\frac{a + b + c}{2}\)
Let a = 40cm, b = 60cm, c = 80cm and s = \(\frac{40 + 60 + 80}{2} = \frac{180}{2}\) = 90cm
⇒ A = \(\sqrt90 (90 - 40) (90 - 60) (90 - 80) = \sqrt90 \times 50 \times 30 \times 10 = \sqrt1350000\)
∴ A =1162cm\(^2\) (to the nearest cm\(^2)\)
