The perimeter of a triangular field is 240dm. If two of its sides are 78dm and 50dm, find the length of the perpendicular on the side of length 50dm from the oposite vertex.

Third side of given triangle = 240 - (78 + 50) = 240 - 128 = 112 dm

Semiperimeter of triangle (s) = {tex}{{240} \over 2}{/tex} = 120 dm

Now, Area of triangle = {tex}\sqrt {s\left( {s - a} \right)\left( {s - b} \right)\left( {s - c} \right)} {/tex}

{tex}\sqrt {120\left( {120 - 78} \right)\left( {120 - 50} \right)\left( {120 - 112} \right)} {/tex}

{tex}\sqrt {120 \times 42 \times 70 \times 8} {/tex}

{tex}\sqrt {10 \times 10 \times 7 \times 7 \times 6 \times 6 \times 4 \times 4} {/tex}

= 10 x 7 x 6 x 4 

= 1680 sq. dm

Now, again Area of triangle = {tex}{1 \over 2}{/tex}x Base x Height (Perpendicular)

=>     1680 = {tex}{1 \over 2}{/tex}x 50 x Perpendicular

=>     Perpendicular = {tex}{{1680 \times 2} \over {50}}{/tex}

=>     Perpendicular = 67.2 dm
