उत्तर
The side of the traffic signal board = a
Perimeter of traffic signal board = 3 × a
2s = 3a ⇒ s = `3/2 a`
By heron's formula,
Area of triangle = `sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))`
Area of given triangle = `sqrt(3/2 a(3/2a-a)(3/2a-a)(3/2a-a))`
= `sqrt((3/2a)(a/2)(a/2)(a/2))`
= `sqrt3/4a^2` ... (1)
Perimeter of traffic signal board = 180 cm
Side of traffic signal board (a) = `(180/3) cm` = 60 cm
Using equation (1), the area of the traffic signal board
= `sqrt3/4(60cm)^2`
= `(3600/4sqrt3)cm^2` = `900sqrt3 cm^2`
