What is the area of a
triangle?

What is a perimeter of
triangle of sides a,b,c?
INTRO ACTIVITY: Find the area of the triangle given to each group
CONCEPT DETAILS: AREA OF A TRIANGLE BY HERON’S FORMULA
 LEARNING OBJECTIVE

•To compute the area of a triangle by heron’s formula

•To apply the same in real life context

CONCEPT ACTIVITY: A triangular park ABC has sides 120m, 80m
and 50m . A gardener Dhania has to put a fence
all around it and also plant grass inside. How
much area does she need to plant? Find the cost
of fencing it with barbed wire at the rate of
Rs.20 per metre .

Given three sticks of lengths 10cm,5cm and 3cm. A triangle is formed using the sticks, then area
of triangle will be: a)57cm2 b)25cm2 c)15cm2 d)unable to form a
triangle, so no area can be calculated

Two sides of a triangular fence are 13cm and 14cm and its semi-perimeter is 18cm. Find the third
side of this fence.
In a family with two sons, a father has a field in the form of a right angles triangle with sides 18m and 40m. He wants to give independent charge to his sons, so he
divided the field in the ratio 2:1:1, the bigger part he kept for himself and divided remaining equally among the sons, find the total area distributed to the sons.

A triangular park ABC has sides 120m,80m and 50m (see figure). A gardener Dhania has to put a fence all around it and also plant grass inside. A small
pond is also constructed along with road for driving cycle. His son is enjoying cycling everyday in the park.
What is the perimeter of the park?
a) 300m b)250m c)275m d)325m
Calculate the semi-oerimeter of triangular park, in which planting is needed?
b) 150m b)250m c)125m d)155m
Calculate the area, in which planting is needed?√5 m2 b) 350root5 c)375root15m2 d) 350root15m2
a)375
Find the cost of fencing it with barbed wire at the rate of Rs:20 per metre leaving a space 3m wide for a gate opn one side.
c) Rs. 4900 b) Rs:4940 c)rs:4840 d)Rs:4800
d) How much area does she need to plant? Find the cost of fencing it with barbed wire at the rate of Rs 20 per metre leaving a space 3m wide for a
gate on one side ?
