[5] The area of the equilateral triangle is 20√3cm^2 whose each side is 8cm.
Given:
- Area of equilateral triangle is 20√3 cm².
- Each side of triangle is 8 cm.
To Check:
- The statement is true or false .
Solution: As we know that area of an equilateral triangle is
★Area of Equilateral triangle=√3(a)²/4★
A/q
20√3 = √3(8)²/4
20√3 = √3 64/4
20√3 = 16√3
Here, LHS ≠ RHS Therefore this is false.

[6] In a triangle, the sides are given as 11 cm , 12 cm 13 cm. the length of the altitude is 10.25cm corresponding to the side having length 12cm.
Given:
- Sides of triangle are 11 cm , 12 cm and 13 cm.
- The length of altitude is 10.25 cm corresponding to side 12 cm.
To Check:
- This statement is true or false ?
Solution: Let in ∆ABC, A = 11 cm , B = 12 cm , C = 13 cm & AD = Altitude to side 12 cm.
We have to find the area of ∆ABC , by Heron's Formula.
➟ Semi Perimeter (S) = (a + b + c/2) cm
➟ S = (11 + 12 + 13/2) cm
➟ S = 36/2 = 18 cm
★ Heron's Formula = √S ( s – a ) ( s – b ) ( s – c ) ★
Area ∆ABC = √18( 18–11 ) ( 18–12 ) ( 18–13 ) cm²
√18 3 6 5 cm²
√3780 cm²
61.48 cm²
Now, taking 12 cm as base, area of ∆ABC
➱ Area of ∆ABC = ( 1/2 x Base x Height )
➱ Area of ∆ABC = ( 1/2 x BC x AD )
➱ 61.48 = ( 1/2 x 12 x AD )
➱ 61.48 = 6AD
➱ 61.48/6 = AD
➱ 10.246 or 10.25 cm = AD
Hence, the length of altitude corresponding to side 12 cm is 10.25 cm. This statement is true.
