The base of an isoceles of triangle measure 24cm area of triangle 192cm square. Find the perimeter |
|
Answer» Here, base, b = 24 cm, and let each equal side be a cm. Then,area =\xa0{tex}\\frac { 1 } { 4 } b \\sqrt { 4 a ^ { 2 } - b ^ { 2 } } \\text { sq units } = \\frac { 1 } { 4 } \\times 24 \\times \\sqrt { 4 a ^ { 2 } - 576 } \\mathrm { cm } ^ { 2 }{/tex}={tex}12 \\times \\sqrt { a ^ { 2 } - 144 } \\mathrm { cm } ^ { 2 }{/tex}But, area = 192 cm2 [given].{tex}\\therefore \\quad 12 \\times \\sqrt { a ^ { 2 } - 144 } = 192 \\Rightarrow \\sqrt { a ^ { 2 } - 144 } = 16{/tex}{tex}\\Rightarrow a ^ { 2 } - 144 = 256 \\Rightarrow a ^ { 2 } = 400 \\Rightarrow a = 20{/tex}{tex}\\therefore\\quad {/tex}perimeter of the triangle = (2a + b) cm= (2 {tex}\\times{/tex}\xa020 + 24) cm = 64 cm. 24cm one side and anotjer two are equal and will be x 192=1/2(base)(hight)192=1/2×24(x)192=12X192/12=x16=xSo, two equal sides are of 16cm.Perimeter =24+16+16P=54 |
