The sides of a triangular field are 41m, 40m, 900 cm. Each rose bed requires 180 sq. cm of are. How many rose beds can be prepared in the field?

Solution

We have 900 cm = 9 m
By Heron's formula.
Area of a triangular= √s×(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) ,where a,b,c are sides of the triangle and s is the semi perimeter.
s=(a+b+c)/2=(41+40+9)/2=45
so, area of the field=√[45×(45-41)(45-40)(45-9)] = √(45 × 4 × 5 × 36) = √32400 = 180m^2 =1800000cm^2.
now, space needed for a rose bed = 180cm^2.
so, number of rose beds = 1800000/180 = 10000.

So there can be 10000 rose beds prepared
