Question

triangular park ABC has sides 3 m, 5 m, and 6 m. a gardener ravi wants to put a fence all around it and also plant grass inside. how much area does he need to plant?

Answer 1

Step 1) Check if the given triangle lengths form a right triangle

3^2 + 5^2 = 6^2

9 + 25 = 36

36 = 36

Step 2) Solve for the area of the triangle

Formula: A = 1/2 x base x height

A = 1/2 x 3 x 5

A = 1/2 x 15

A = 7.5 m^2

Step 3) Solve for the perimeter of the triangle

Formula: P = sum of all sides

P = 3 + 5 + 6

P = 14 m

Ravi needs to plant 7.5m^2 of grass and put up a fence that is 14m in total length.

Hope this helps!! :)
