Let the sides of the triangle be
a = 3x, b = 5x, c = 7x
Perimeter of triangle = 300 m
⇒ 3x + 5x + 7x = 300 ⇒ 15x = 300 ⇒ x = 20
∴ a = 3 × 20 = 60 m, b = 5 × 20 = 100 m,
c = 7 × 20 = 140 m
Now, s = = 150 m

We know that the longest side is 105 m.
Thus, we can find out the height of the triangle corresponding to 42 cm.
Area of triangle = 4116 m2
