Question

The sides of a triangle are 16cm , 30cm,34cm. Its
area is (in cm?)
(a) 225
(b) 22573
(c) 225v2
(d) 240​

Answer 1

Given that,

Sides of the triangle are 16 cm, 30 cm, 34 cm.

⠀⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

⠀⠀⠀

☯ $\underline{\boldsymbol{Using \: Heron's \: Formula \: :}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\star\:\boxed{\sf{\pink{Area_{\triangle} = \sqrt{s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)}}}}$

⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies\sf S_{\:(Semiperimeter)} = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} \\\\\\:\implies\sf S_{\:(Semiperimeter)} = \dfrac{16 + 30 + 34}{2} \\\\\\:\implies\sf S_{\:(Semiperimeter)} = \cancel\dfrac{80}{2}\\\\\\:\implies{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{ S_{\:(Semiperimeter)} = 40 \: cm}}}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\dag\;{\underline{\frak{Substituting \: Values \; in \ formula,}}}$

⠀⠀⠀

$:\implies\sf Area_{\triangle} = \sqrt{40 (40 - 16) (40 - 30) (40 - 34)} \\\\\\:\implies\sf Area_{\triangle} = \sqrt{ 40 \times 24 \times 10 \times 6} \\\\\\:\implies\sf Area_{\triangle} = \sqrt{4 \times 10 \times 4 \times 6 \times 10 \times 6} \\\\\\:\implies\sf Area_{\triangle} = \sqrt{4 \times 6 \times 10}\\\\\\:\implies{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{ Area_{\triangle} = 240 \: cm^2}}}}} \: \bigstar$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\therefore\:{\underline{\sf{The\: area \: of \ \triangle \:is\: \bf{ Option \: (d) \: 240\: cm^2.}}}}$⠀⠀⠀
