Multiple choice

What is the area of a triangle with sides of length 3, 4, and 5?

  1. 6

  2. 8

  3. 10

  4. 12
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

To find the area of a triangle with sides of length 3, 4, and 5, we can use Heron's formula: (Area = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}), where s is the semiperimeter of the triangle. The semiperimeter is (s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{3 + 4 + 5}{2} = 6). Substituting the values of s, a, b, and c into the formula, we get: (Area = \sqrt{6(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)} = \sqrt{6 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1} = \sqrt{36} = 6). Therefore, the area of the triangle is 6.

Multiple choice

In a triangle, the ratio of the lengths of two sides is 3:4. If the perimeter of the triangle is 42 cm, what is the length of the third side?

  1. 10 cm

  2. 12 cm

  3. 14 cm

  4. 16 cm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the lengths of the two sides be 3x and 4x. Then, the third side has length 42 - 3x - 4x = 42 - 7x. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 42 cm, we have 3x + 4x + 42 - 7x = 42. Solving for x, we get x = 6. Therefore, the length of the third side is 42 - 7x = 42 - 7 * 6 = 14 cm.
