Given :

  • The sides of a triangular plot are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7 .
  • Its perimeter is 300 m.

⠀

To Find :

  • Its area.

⠀

Solution :

  • Let us assume the sides in metres be 3x, 5x and 7x .

⠀

Then, We know,

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  3x + 5x + 7x = 300  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: Perimeter_{(Triangle)}

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  15x = 300

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  x =  \dfrac{300}{15}

\qquad \bf\dashrightarrow \:  x = 20

⠀

So, The sides of the triangle are :

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  3 \times  20 \: m =  \bf60 \: m

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  5 \times  20 \: m = \bf 100 \: m

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  7 \times  20 \: m =  \bf140 \: m

⠀

Now, Using Heron's formula :

We have,

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  s = ( {60 + 100 + 140}) \:  m = 300 \: m

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  s =  \dfrac {60 + 100 + 140}2 \:  m = 150 \: m

⠀

And the Area will be :

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:  \sqrt{150(150 - 60)(150 - 100)(150 - 140)}  \:  {m}^{2}

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:   \sqrt{150 \times 90 \times 50 \times 10}  \:  \:  {m}^{2}

\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 1500 \sqrt{3}   \:  {m}^{2}

Answer:

2598m²

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Figure</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em>

\setlength{\unitlength}{1 cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\qbezier(1, 0)(1,0)(3,3)\qbezier(5,0)(5,0)(3,3)\qbezier(5,0)(1,0)(1,0)\put(2.85,3.2){$\bf A$}\put(0.5,-0.3){$\bf C$}\put(5.2,-0.3){$\bf B$}\put(5,1){$\bf 3x $}\put(2.5, - .5){$\bf 7x $}\put(.5,1){$\bf 5x $}\put(4.5,4){$\bf not \: to \: scale \: $}\end{picture}

Here we are given that the ratio of sides of a triangular plot is 3:5:7 and its perimeter is 300m . We are interested in finding the area of the rectangle . Firstly , let us take the given ratio's HCF be x , then we may write the ratio as ,

\longrightarrow 3x : 5x : 7x

<em>According</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>question</em><em> </em><em>,</em>

\longrightarrow 3x + 5x + 7x = 300m \\

\longrightarrow 15x = 300m\\

\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{300m}{15}\\

\longrightarrow x = 20m

Therefore , the sides will be ,

\longrightarrow 3x = 3(20m) = \red{60m}\\

\longrightarrow 5x =5(20m)= \red{100m}\\

\longrightarrow 7x =7(20m)=\red{140m}

Now we may use Heron's Formula to find out the area of triangle as ,

<em>Heron's</em><em> </em><em>Formula</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em>-</em>

  • If three sides of a ∆ is a , b , c then the area is given by \sqrt{ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} , where s is the semi perimeter .

Here ,

\longrightarrow s =\dfrac{300m}{2}=150m

Therefore ,

\longrightarrow Area =\sqrt{ 150(150-60)(150-100)(150-140)}m^2\\

\longrightarrow Area =\sqrt{ 150 \times 90 \times 50 \times 10}m^2\\

\longrightarrow Area = \sqrt{ 50^2 \times 30^2\times 3}m^2\\

\longrightarrow Area = 50\times 30 \times 1.732 m^2\\

\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{ Area = 2598m^2}}

And we are done !

Please help, I don’t know how to do this. Use a compass and straightedge to construct a line perpendicular to the given through
Tasya [4]

Step-by-step explanation: B

put the center of the circle on the right of the line and the edge of the circle on the p. Make part of a circle. you dont have to do the whole circle, but you can if you want.

do the same thing again but on the other side of the line.

now it should look like the first image i included (if you didnt do the whole circle)

now take your straightedge/ruler/line maker and make it go through the intersecting points on the circles, like the second image.

Note that my images are for demonstration. They're not perfect at all, they're just to show you how to do it.

My monthly cell phone bill is $40 plus $.10 for each text message. Write an equation to show the cost of texting. What is my tot
Otrada [13]

Answer:

y=.1x+40; Your total monthly bill is $48 for 80 text messages.

Step-by-step explanation:

y is your total bill

x represents each text message

40 is you cellphone bill cost

.1 is the cost per text message

(y=.1x+40 becomes your equation)

plug 80 to represent "x"

y=.1*80+40 --->  y=48

your total monthly bill is $48
