The area of a triangular plot, whose sides are 100m, 105m and 145m, is equal to a rectangular field, whose sides are in the ratio 7:10. The perimeter (in m) of the rectangular field is:

  1. A
    3405
  2. B
    3403
  3. C
    170

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

First, let's find the area of the triangular plot using Heron's formula.
The sides are a=100m, b=105m, and c=145m.
The semi-perimeter (s) is:

s=
2
a+b+c

=
2
100+105+145

=
2
350

=175m
Now, compute the area (A

):

A
triangle

=
s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)



A
triangle

=
175×(175−100)×(175−105)×(175−145)



A
triangle

=
175×75×70×30



A
triangle

=
(25×7)×(25×3)×(7×10)×(3×10)

The area of the rectangular field is equal to this triangular area. Let the sides of the rectangle be 7k and 10k:

Area of rectangle=7k×10k=70k

The perimeter of the rectangular field is:

Perimeter=2(Length+Width)=2(10k+7k)=2(17k)=34k
Perimeter=34×5
