The sides of a triangle having area 7776 sq. cm are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. The perimeter of the triangle is
Let the sides of the triangle be $$3x, 4x and 5x$$
$$\because$$ $$(3x)^2+(4x)^2 = 25x^2 = (5x)^2$$
=> These are the sides of a right angled triangle and since $$5x$$ is the longest side, it will be hypotenuse
Area of triangle = $$\frac{1}{2} * 3x * 4x$$ = 7776
=> $$x^2$$ = 1296
=> $$x = \sqrt{1296}$$ = 36
=> Perimeter of triangle = $$3x + 4x + 5x$$ = $$12x$$
= 12*36 = 432 cm
