If a triangle has three sides a, b, and c, a semi-perimeter, s, and area of triangle A, then the semi-perimeter and area of the triangle are given as:

s=a+b+c2

Area of triangle =s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

Here, the sides are k, 2k, and 3k.

Now, s=k+2k+3k2=3k

Hence, the semi-perimeter of the scalene triangle of sides k, 2k, and 3k is 3k.
