|
Answer» Answer: 4√3m Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Let the each side of the TRIANGLE be x. ATQ, x+x+x=12 3x=12 x= 12/3 x= 4 Thus, each side of the triangle is 4m. AREA of the triangle= √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) Where, s= a+b+c/2 = 4+4+4/2 =12/2 =6 By SUBSTITUTING the VALUES, √6(6-4)(6-4)(6-4) =√6×2×2×2 =√2×3×2×2×2 =2×2√3 =4√3m Therefore, the area of the triangle is 4√3m. |
