1)  

In the right-angled triangle shown below, the ratio of the length of sides AB : BC : CA is 3 : 4 : 5.
The perimeter of the triangle is 24cm.
What is the area of the triangle 




Answer: 24 cm2


SOLUTION 1 :

AB : BC : CA
3 : 4 : 5

 

Step 1:  3 + 4 +5 = 12 units

            12 units = 24 cm

             1 unit = 24 cm ÷ 12

                      = 2 cm

Step 2: AB → 3 units = 3 x 2 cm

                                   = 6 cm

Step 3:  BC → 4 units = 4 x 2 cm

                                   = 8 cm

Step 4: Area of triangle → 12 x 6 cm x 8 cm = 24 cm2

                      = 23 cm

Step 2: AB → 3 units = 3 x 23 cm

                                   = 69 cm

Step 3:  BC → 4 units = 4 x 23 cm

                                   = 92 cm

Step 4: Area of triangle → 12 x 69 cm x 92 cm = 3174 cm2
