उत्तर
Let the sides of the triangle be
a = 26 cm, b = 28 cm and c = 30 cm
Now,
semi-perimeter of a triangle,
s = `( a + b + c )/( 2 ) = ( 26 + 28 + 30 )/(2 )= (84)/(2) = 42 cm`
∴ Area of triangle = `sqrt (s( s - a )( s - b )(s -c ))`
= `sqrt (42( 42 - 26 ) ( 42 - 28 ) (42 - 30 ))`
= `sqrt ( 42 xx 16 xx 14 xx 12 )`
= `sqrt( 7 xx 6 xx 4 xx 4 xx 7 xx 2 xx 6 xx 2)`
= `sqrt( 7 xx 7 xx 4 xx 4 xx 6 xx 6xx 2xx 2)`
= 7 x 4 x 6 x 2
= 336 cm2
Base of a parallelogram = 28 cm
Given ,
Area of parallelogram = Area of triangle
⇒ Base x Height = 336
⇒ 28 x Height = 336
⇒ Height = 12 cm
