The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 13: 14: 15 and its perimeter is 84 cm. Find the area of the triangle.

It is given in the question that,

Perimeter of triangle = 84 cm


Also, sides or triangle are: in ratio 13: 14: 15


Let, a = 13x


b = 14x


c = 15x


We know that,


Perimeter of triangle = Sum of all sides


84 = a + b + c


84 = 13x + 14x + 15x


84 = 42x


x =


x = 2 cm


Thus, a = 13 × 2 = 26 cm


b = 14 × 2 = 28 cm


c = 15 × 2 = 30 cm


s =


=


= 42 cm


Hence,


Area of triangle =


=


=


= 336 cm2
