Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the equal side to the base is 3:2.

Let the sides be 3x,2x .

Let the third side = 3x

Given , perimeter = 32

we know that the perimeter of is equal to the sum of the sides . Thus,

=> 3x+2x +3x = 32

=> 8x = 32

=> x=4

=> 32/2 = 16

Thus, the sides are 12 , 8 ,12cm

Thus ,area of the triangle = √32/2 (16 -12) (16-8) (16-12)

= √16 * 4 * 8 * 4

= 32√2 cm sq.
