In an isosceles triangle, the length of each equal side is twice the length of the third side. The ratio of areas of the isosceles triangle and an equilateral triangle with the same perimeter is

  • 30 square root of 5 space colon space 100
  • 32 square root of 5 space colon thin space 100
  • 36 square root of 5 space colon space 100
  • 36 square root of 5 space colon space 100


C.

36 square root of 5 space colon space 100

Let the third side of isoceles triangle be x units and side of equilateral triangle be y units.
Now, According to the question
             2x + 2x + x = 3y
⟹                  5x = 3y
Area of equilateral triangle 
                      equals space fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction straight y squared

AB = 2x;  BD = x/2 units
therefore space space AD space equals space square root of AB squared space minus space BD squared end root
space space equals space square root of 4 straight x squared minus straight x squared over 4 end root
space equals space square root of fraction numerator 16 straight x squared minus straight x squared over denominator 4 end fraction end root space equals space fraction numerator square root of 15 over denominator 2 end fraction straight x
Area of isosceles triangle ABC
                 equals space 1 half space cross times space straight x space cross times space fraction numerator square root of 15 over denominator 2 end fraction straight x
equals space fraction numerator square root of 15 over denominator 4 end fraction straight x squared
equals space fraction numerator square root of 15 over denominator 4 end fraction cross times open parentheses 3 over 5 straight y squared close parentheses
equals fraction numerator 9 square root of 15 over denominator 100 end fraction straight y squared
∴ Required ratio
    equals space fraction numerator 9 square root of 15 over denominator 100 end fraction straight y squared space colon space fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction straight y squared
equals space 36 square root of 5 space colon space 100
