HERON’S FORMULA 4 CHAPTER ➢ CONTENTS • Some basic terms • Area of triangle • Heron’s formula • Area of quadrilateral • Area of Rhombus • Area of Trapezium ➢ SOME BASIC TERMS Area : Place, which is covered by base of a body is called area of that body. Area is same from everywhere of the base. Height : The perpendicular distance is called height and the side having foot of perpendicular, is called base. ❖ EXAMPLES ❖ Ex.1 ABCD is a parallelogram. If DE & BF are perpendiculars from D and B on sides AB & DA respectively then their bases are AB and AD respectively. D C F A E B Ex.2 ABC is an acute angle triangle. AD is height and BC is base B D C A Ex.3 PQR is an obtuse angle triangle at Q. Then height of P from BC is PT but base is QR (not SR). T Q R P S Area of triangle = 2 1 (base × height) square unit we can use this formula when we can find or given height & base. Heron’s formula : If we have all sides of triangle and their is no way to find height then we use this formula for area of triangle. Area of = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) Where s is semi perimeter of . 2 1 s = (sum of all sides) = 2 1 (a + b + c) B a C A c b and a, b, c are sides of . Note : Use 2 1 (base) (height) for area of right angle triangle, if any two sides are given.
❖ EXAMPLES ❖ Ex.4 For given figure find the s (s – a). A 5 cm 3 cm B 4 cm C Sol. Perimeter = 2s = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 cm semi perimeter = 2 12 = 6 cm s (s – a) = 6 (6 – 4) = 6 × 2 = 12 cm. Ex.5 If semiperimeter of a triangle is 60 cm & its two sides are 45 cm, 40 cm then find third side. Sol. Semiperimeter = 60 Perimeter = 2 × 60 Sum of all three sides = 120 (Let third side = x cm) x + 45 + 40 = 120 x + 85 = 120 x = 120 – 85 x = 35 cm. Ex.6 If perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 96 cm, then find its each side. Sol. Length of all sides are equal in equilateral Let length is x cm x + x + x = 96 3x = 96 x = 32 cm. Ex.7 If one side from two equal sides of a is 14 cm and semiperimeter is 22.5 cm then find the third side. Sol. Let the third side is x cm x + 14 + 14 = 2 × 22.5 x = 45 – 28 = 17 cm. Ex.8 Find the length of AD in given figure, if EC = 4 cm and AB = 5 cm. B D C A E 6 cm Sol. area of ABC = 2 1 (AB × EC) = 2 1 (5 × 4) = 10 square cm. also area of ABC = 2 1 (BC × AD) = 2 1 (6 × AD) = 3AD square cm 3AD = 10 AD = 3.33 3 10 = cm. Note : 2 = 1.41, 3 = 1.73, 5 = 2.23, 6 = 2.45, 7 = 2.64, 8 = 2.82, 11 = 3.31, 15 = 3.87 Ex.9 Find the area of a triangle whose sides are of lengths 52 cm, 56 cm and 60 cm respectively. Sol. Let a = 52 cm, b = 56 cm and c = 60 cm. Perimeter of the triangle = (a + b + c) units = (52 + 56 + 60) cm = 168 cm 168 cm 2 1 (a b c) 2 1 s = + + = = 84 cm (s – a) = (84 – 52) cm = 32 cm, (s – b) = (84 – 56) cm = 28 cm and (s – c) = (84 – 60) cm = 24 cm By Heron’s formula, the area of the given triangle is = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) = 2 84 32 28 24cm = 2 14616214264 cm = (14 × 6 × 4 × 2 × 2) cm2 = 1344 cm2 . Ex.10 Using Heron’s formula, find the area of an equilateral triangle of side a units.
Sol. We have : 2 1 s = (a + a + a) = 2 3a (s – a) = 2 a a 2 3a = − , (s – b) = 2 a a 2 3a = − and (s – c) = 2 a a 2 3a = − So, by Heron’s formula, we have : area = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c)squnits = sq units 4 3a sq units 2 a 2 a 2 a 2 3a 2 = Hence, area of equilateral triangle of side a is 4 3a 2 sq units. Note : = = 2 3a a 2 1 a 4 3 2 = base height 2 1 height = units 2 3a Ex.11 Find the area of an isosceles triangle each of whose equal sides is 13 cm and whose base is 24 cm. Sol. Here, a = 13 cm, b = 13 cm and c = 24 cm. s = 2 1 (a + b + c) = 2 1 (13 + 13 + 24) cm = 25 cm. (s – a) = (25 – 13) cm = 12 cm, (s – b) = (25 – 13) cm = 12 cm and (s – c) = (25 – 24) cm = 1 cm. So, by Heron’s formula, = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) = 2512 12 1 cm2 = (5×12)cm2 = 60 cm2 . Hence, the area of the given triangle is 60 cm2 . Ex.12 The perimeter of a triangular field is 450 m and its sides are in the ratio 13 : 12 : 5. Find the area of the triangle. Sol. a : b : c = 13 : 12 : 5 a = 13x, b = 12x & c = 5x Perimeter = 450 13x + 12x + 5x = 450 30x = 450 x = 15. So, the sides of the triangle are a = 13 × 15 = 195 m, b = 12 × 15 = 180 m and c = 5 × 15 = 75 m It is given that perimeter = 450 2s = 450 s = 225 Area = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) = 225(225 −195)(225 −180)(225 − 75) Area = 225 30 45150 = 5 3 3 5 2 3 5 5 2 3 2 2 2 2 Area = 6 6 2 5 3 2 = 53 × 3 3 × 2 = 6750 m2 . Ex.13 Find the percentage increase in the area of a triangle if its each side is doubled. Sol. Let a, b, c be the sides of the old triangle and s be its semi-perimeter. Then, s = 2 1 (a + b + c) The sides of the new triangle are 2a, 2b and 2c. Let s' be its semi-perimeter. Then, 2 1 s' = × (2a + 2b + 2c) = a + b + c = 2s Let and ' be the areas of the old and new triangles respectively. Then, = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) and ' = s'(s'−2a)(s'−2b)(s'−2c) ' = 2s(2s − 2a)(2s − 2b)(2s − 2c) [ s' = 2s] ' = 4 s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) = 4 Increase in the area of the triangle = ' – = 4 − = 3 Hence, percentage increase in area = 100 300% 3 = Ex.14 The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 and its perimeter is 144 cm. Find (i) the area of the triangle and (ii) the height corresponding to the longest side.
Sol. Perimeter = 144 cm and ratio of sides = 3 : 4 : 5 Sum of ratio terms = (3 + 4 + 5) = 12. Let the lengths of the sides be a, b and c respectively. Then, a = 12 3 144 cm = 36 cm, b = 12 4 144 cm = 48 cm and c = 12 5 144 cm = 60 cm. 2 1 s = (a + b + c) = 2 1 (36 + 48 + 60) cm = 72 cm. (s – a) = (72 – 36) cm = 36 cm, (s – b) = (72 – 48) cm = 24 cm and (s – c) = (72 – 60) cm = 12 cm. (i) By Heron’s formula, the area of the triangle is given by = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) = 2 72362412 cm = 2 3636 24 24 cm = (36 × 24) cm2 = 864 cm2 . Hence, the area of the given triangle is 864 cm2 . (ii) Let base = longest side = 60 cm and the corresponding height = h cm. Then, area = base height 2 1 sq units = 60 h 2 1 cm2 = (30h) cm2 . 30h = 864 h = 28.8 30 864 = . Hence, the height corresponding to the longest side is 28.8 cm. Ex.15 Find the area of the shaded region in figure : 12cm 16 cm A B C D 48 cm 52 cm Sol. By Pythagoras theorem, in ADB AB = 2 2 AD + BD = 2 2 12 +16 = 144 + 256 = 400 AB = 20 cm. area of ABC = s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c) = + + = 60cm 2 20 48 52 s = 60(60 − 20)(60 − 48)(60 − 52) = 60 40 12 8 = (12 5)(58)12 8 = 2 2 2 5 8 12 = 5 × 8 × 12 = 480 cm2 . also area of ADB = 2 1 (AD) (BD) = 2 1 × 12 × 16 = 96 cm2 Shaded area = ar(ABC) – ar (ADB) = 480 – 96 = 384 cm2 .
