Suppose base is B cm

Then Height is B + 2.5 cm

Area = 0.5*Base*Height = 0.5*B*(B + 2.5) which is given to be 37.5

So 0.5*B2 + 1.25*B = 37.5

That is 2B2 + 5B - 150 = 0

ie (B + 10)(2B - 15) = 0

that is B = -10 or B = 7.5

Since B is a length, it cannot be negative. So B = 7.5 cm

Then H = B + 2.5 = 10 cm

These sides are in the ratio of 3:4 (with common factor 2.5) so they form part of the Pythagorean triplet of 3:4:5. Hence the third side is 5*2.5 = 12.5 cm.

[Alternatively you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse as the square root of the sum of squares on the two sides].

And so perimeter = 7.5 + 10 + 12.5 = 30 cm

What is a side opposite to greater angle in triangle called?

In a triangle, the side opposite the greater angle is referred to as the longest side. This relationship is established by the triangle inequality theorem, which states that in any triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the side opposite that angle. Therefore, if one angle is greater than another, the side opposite the greater angle will also be longer than the side opposite the smaller angle.
