A᭄ɴsᴡᴇʀ
A≈43.82cm²
Let a,b,c be the sides of the given triangle and 2s be its perimeter such that
a=8 cm, b=11 cm and 2s=32 cm
Now, a+b+c=2s
8+11+c=32
c=13
Therefore,
s−a=16−8=8,s−b=16−11=5,s−c=16−13=3
Hence, area of given triangle =
√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
= √16×8×5×3
=8 √30cm²
Concept:-
Here the concept of Heron's Formula and Perimeter of Triangle has been used. We see that we are given the perimeter of triangle and two of its side. Then firstly we can find the third side of the triangle. Then we can find the semi - perimeter of triangle. After that using Heron's Formula, we can find the area of triangle.
Let's do it!!

Solution:-
Given,
Given,» First side of Triangle = a = 8 cm
Given,» First side of Triangle = a = 8 cm» Second side of Triangle = b =11 cm
Given,» First side of Triangle = a = 8 cm» Second side of Triangle = b =11 cm» Perimeter of the Triangle = 32 cm
- Given,» First side of Triangle = a = 8 cm» Second side of Triangle = b =11 cm» Perimeter of the Triangle = 32 cmLet the third side of the triangle be c
- Let the semi - perimeter of the triangle be s
~for the value of c::
We know that,
By applying values, we get
Hence, third side of triangle = 13 cm
~ For the value of semi perimeter of triangle ::
We know that,
By Applying the value we get
-----------------------------------------------------------
~ For the Area of the Triangle ::
We know that,
By applying the values, we get
Since, √30 = 5.477
Here the value is in decimals so we can take round off to two decimal points.
