    Question

    A right-angled triangle has an

    area of 120 m┬▓, and the ratio of its base to height is 5:3. The side length of an equilateral triangle is 125% of the average of the base and height of the right-angled triangle. Calculate the perimeter of the equilateral triangle.
    A 55 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 45 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Base of the right angled triangle = 5b Height of the right angled triangle = 3b Area of the right angled triangle = 120 m (1/2) ├Ч 5b ├Ч 3b = 120 b2 = 16 b = 4 Base of the right angled triangle = 5 ├Ч 4 = 20 m Height of the right angled triangle = 3 ├Ч 4 = 12 m Side of the equilateral triangle = (20 + 12)/2 ├Ч 125/100 = 16 ├Ч 125/100 = 20 m Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 ├Ч 20 = 60 m
