Problems from Perimeter and area of a triangle

Given a triangle with the following measurements, answer these questions:

Basis=11 cm, side 1 =11 cm, side 2 =7,5 cm, height (h) =7 cm

  1. Area
  2. Perimeter
  3. Semiperimeter
See development and solution

Development:

  1. A=bh2, where b is the basis and h the height. Applying the formula we get: A=1172=38,5 cm2

  2. The perimeter is the sum of all the sides of the triangle.

P=a+b+c=11+11+7,5=29,5cm

3. The information of the statement interpreted by our formula is:

a=11,b=11,c=7,5

Then we have: p=a+b+c2=11+11+7,52=14,75

Solution:

  1. 38,5 cm2
  2. 29,5 cm
  3. 14,75 cm
