    Q1)

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    Given :

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • Perimeter of triangle = 72cm
    • Ratio of the sides = 3:4:5

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    ➝ Let the constant of proportionality be = k

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    ⇒ 3k + 4k + 5k = 72cm

    ⇒ 12k = 72cm

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large \: ⇒ \rm \: k = \dfrac{72}{12} [/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \boxed{ \large \therefore \underline{\: \rm \: k = 6cm}}[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    The sides are

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • 3 × 6 = 18cm
    • 4 × 6 = 24cm
    • 5 × 6 = 30cm

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    Herons Formula :

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large \mapsto \boxed{\: \mathtt{ \sqrt{s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)} }}[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • Finding Area :

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large = \rm \mathtt{ \sqrt{36(36 – 18)(36 – 24)(36 – 30)} }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large ⇒ \mathtt{ \sqrt{36(18)(12)(6)} }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large ⇒ \mathtt{ \sqrt{(648)(72)} }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large ⇒ \mathtt{ \sqrt{(46656)} }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    216cm²

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    Finding altitude :

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • Height = h

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    ➦ We know ,

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: [/tex] Area of triangle =

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large ➬ \: \boxed{ \: \: \mathtt{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height}}[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • Base = 30cm
    • Area = 216cm²

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \mathtt{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times 30 \times h = 216 {cm}^{2} }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \mathtt{ \dfrac{1}{ \cancel2} \times \cancel{30} \: 15 \times h = 216 {cm}^{2} }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • On Transposing The Terms :

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \: \mathtt{h \: = \dfrac{216}{15} } \\ \\ [/tex]

    [tex] \boxed{\boxed{ \large \therefore \: \underline{\tt{altitude = 14.4cm}}}}[/tex]

    Q2 )

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    Given :

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • Area = 192cm²
    • Side¹ = 20cm
    • Side² = 20cm

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \: \mathtt{h = \sqrt{b – \dfrac{ {a}^{2} }{4} } }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: [/tex] Area of triangle =

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large ➬ \: \boxed{ \: \: \mathtt{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height}}[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \mathtt{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times a\times h = \dfrac{1}{2} \times a \times \sqrt{b – \dfrac{ {a}^{2} }{4} } }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \mathtt{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times {a}^{2} \times \sqrt{ \dfrac{ {b}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} } – \dfrac{1}{4} } }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • Area Given By –

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \mathtt{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times {x}^{2} \times \sqrt{ \dfrac{ {20}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} } – \dfrac{1}{4} } }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \mathtt{ \dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{2} \times \sqrt{ \dfrac{ {1600} – {x}^{2} }{ {4x}^{2} } } }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ 192 { \rm \: cm }^{2} = \\ \\ \large \: \: \: \: \: \mathtt{ \dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{2} \times \sqrt{ \dfrac{ {1600} – {x}^{2} }{ {4x}^{2} } } }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ 192 { }^{2} = \large \ \mathtt{ \dfrac{ {x}^{2} }{2} \times { \dfrac{ {1600} – {x}^{2} }{ {4x}^{2} } } }[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    ⇒ 192² × 16 = x²(1600 – x²)

    ⇒ x⁴ – 1600x² + 589824 = 0

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    Splitting The Middle Term

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    • t = x²

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    ⇒ t² – 1600t + 589824 = 0

    ⇒ t² – 1024t – 576t + 589824 = 0

    ⇒ t(t – 1024) – 576(t – 1024) = 0

    ⇒ t = 1024 or 576

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \: \mathtt{ {x}^{2} = 1024 \: \: \: or \: \: \: 576}[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large⇒ \: \mathtt{ {x}^{} = \sqrt{ 1024 }\: \: \: or \: \: \: \sqrt{ 576}}[/tex]

    [tex] \: [/tex]

    [tex] \large{ \boxed{\therefore \underline{\: \mathtt{ {x}^{} = 32cm \: \: \: or \: \: \:24cm} }}}[/tex]
