In a triangle the ratio of the length of the sides are 19:11:8. Find the length of the three side if the area is 576cm^2.

Question

anonymous · Answer

check ur question  the lengths of the triangle can not be in the ratio of 19:11:8
as 8+11=19

anonymous · Answer

I just made that up. The real given is 17:10:9

anonymous · Answer

lol why would you change the question? XD

anonymous · Answer

Soo, i'll do it myself once i know the formula and pellet. xD

anonymous · Answer

assume the lengths to be 17x,10x,9x we have the semiperimetr as 36x/2= 18x
and then proceed using Heron's formula for the area of the triangle

anonymous · Answer

Soo, x = 4?

anonymous · Answer

given sqrt(18x *(18x-17x)*(18x-10x)*(18x-9x)) =576
sqrt (18*8*9)   x^2 =576
or 36x^2=576
or x^2=576/36 =16
hence x=4
hence the lengths of the sides are 68,40,36
