Solution

Let the vertices of the be A,B,C & the length of smaller side BC is a.Then side AB = a+4 and side AC = 2a6.Given the perimeter of ABC is 50cm.So we havea + (a+4) +(2a6) = 50 4a 2 = 50 4a = 52 a = 13. The sides are BC = a = 13cm, AB = (a+4) = 17cm and AC = (2a6) = 20cm.Now according to Herons formula the area of triangle ABC with sides a, b & c is given asA = 2[s(sa)(sb)(sc)]where 2s = (a+b+c).Here a = 13cm, b = 17 , c = 20 , s = (13 + 17 + 20)2 = 502 = 25 Area of ABC = 2[25 × (25 13)(25 17)(25 20)] = 2(25 × 12 × 8 × 5) = 2(5 × 5 × 6 × 2 × 8 × 5)= 2(5 × 5 × 6 × 16 × 5) = 5 × 4 × 2(6 × 5)= 20 230
