उत्तर

Let a, b, c be the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

Given the perimeter of the triangle

2s = a + b + c = 42 m  ......(1)

For a fixed perimeter 2s, the area of a triangle is maximum

when a = b = c.

(1) ⇒ a + a + a = 42

3a = 42 ⇒ a = `42/3`

a = 14 m

∴ a = b = c = 14 m

The maximum area of the triangle ∆ = `8^2/(3sqrt(3))`

= `21^2/(3sqrt(3))`

= `(21 xx 21)/(3sqrt(3))`

= `(7 xx 3 xx 7)/sqrt(3)`

= `49sqrt(3)` sq.m.

 ∴ The dimensions of the triangle are 14 m, 14 m, 14 m.

Maximum area = `49sqrt(3)` sq.m.
